I always thought the engine mounting point on the block was the same for the 4,5,6 cylinder models, just the fore end of the engine getting longer and nearer the radiator... guess I was wrong.
I'm not familiar with how the oil pump is mounted inside the block... where is it exactly? do I just change out/fabricate a tube so it sucks oil at the front? Or do i have to physically relocate the pump itself?
I can probably just have the pan "modified" if I can't source a 602 sump.
I didn't check if the throttle was mechanical, if it were electronic... can I somehow rig it so it's mechanical?
Yeah I figured the 2.9 602 had the same bore/stroke as the 3.5L... and I was doubtful a 4 cylinder could be bored to a 2.9L... the caretaker was adamant that it was a 2.9 though... I'm not getting that one that's for sure.
I'm not 100% sure if my tranny is the .5 or the .6... how can I tell? I'm gunning for an all mechanical unit as you all know.
About the tranny... so it's safe to move the tranny fore/aft? Or does the tranny mounting point have to be exactly where it is now?
I can have the engine mounting arms fabricated... which I think would be easier than having to relocate the transmission. Either way, the shop can deal with the prop shaft no problem.
Thanks for replying.
