Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap
Well the slant and 904 has left the building. It went on to its new home to replace one with a blown head gasket so an older Mopar gent could get his daughter into a car. Before it left I decided to do a side by side with the 904 and the turbo 400.
I have to do a little massaging to that lip I'm told in the top of the tunnel but other than that I plan on having it up and relatively in the right place tomorrow.
After doing a test fit using the lift to get it roughly into position where the pan wasnt resting on the center link, stock truck mounts still bolted in and resting on the stock slant 6 mounts and a support under the oil pan, the motor will definitely have to slide to the rear quite a bit (and up a little i think) to meet the trans and will definitely need a much shorter oil pan or a front sump. Once its slid back in the right position the crank pulley will basically be sitting right above the cross member and leave gobs of room up front, but i dont think the truck intake that came with the motor. I think it's definitely going to need a more low profile car/aftermarket intake to clear the hood, or get a scoop.
