hmmm the tag on the door says 4350lbs gvw? unless that means something else.
I got the glow plug relay, one thing im not sure about is the little aluminum box with a lever and a 7 seven wire plug into it?
as far as engine weight goes, i don't think its anymore than 100lbs more than the original mazda 2.2L.
this vacum shut off you speak of, where does that connect onto the engine? and how does it work?
i noticed that there is a crank sensor on this motor, is that for the models with the tach? this one never had a tach, i wonder if they are just on all of them?
yes i noticed that the tranny doesn't use a slip yoke. being that the truck im planning to use does use a 2 piece driveshaft with a movable center im gonna try and use the first half of the benz shaft with the slip part and get it matched and welded to the mazda middle joint. or use the benz middle joint and get the rear pieces welded together.
anywho, i got the engine out today.
i figured the tranny would be abit bigger lol
