Believe it or not I have put 134 in without the drier change and it was fine. I have the adapters if you need them to charge it when the time comes.

Back in Alaska, we had a tradition about visitors.
Put a fish in the refrigerator when the guest arrives.
After three days, the fish & the guests begin to stink, so throw them all out!
I was going to post the same thing!
Anyone have any ideas? I cannot push the motor back without getting another squirrel cage that would be 1" of blades.

What adapters are needed? I've got a buddy that has a vac pump etc. He has charged my other cars with 134. He's actually an industrial refrig guy, so doubt he has any 'special' fittings for changing refrigerant type. Do you need that every time you charge it, or can I swap them so it can be re-charged without anything special in the future. Would not want someone to accidentally put 12 in down the road.

is this just to get clearance for the 440? What does everyone else do? I would think somebody came up with a good fix.

Ray - can you put longer mounting studs on it and space it into the cabin a little further some how?

If its like mine, that would throw off the inlet from the cowl. Which was the biggest PITA for me, getting that aligned.
They convert from thread to coupler. You can leave them on after if you want.
Thought of that but like Keith said and also the heater core nipples would go inside. Thought of that also.

OK, did not know they were different.

humm.. just one inlet right? on the far right... maybe set it at an angle from there...???
The pass side where it meets the inlet for the cowl would be way off. Thought about making a "can" for the motor to sit back in but would lose half the impeller.

Some race cars use shims between the k-member & frame to lower the engine.
It is amazing that does not fill with water from the cowl, mine does not have a drain tube. Did have a bunch of pine needles in it though.
Great idea but to much *** pain to get everything in alignment again. If I thought about that when building it it would have been a great idea.

the inside of the cowl is raised so water goes around it
Barry how do they align the torsion bars then? Just curious.

mine had some rust pinholes and did leak a little. coated the inside there with neoprene roof caulk
Going to the Burg in a bit hopefully that feeder motor will work. Four seasons has a ton of motors but the site stinks on the descriptions. If it does not look right might go to auto zone and see if Joanne will let me go through there stock, they like me there.
From my rock auto searching a dodge colt might just do it. Same problem with the descriptions is the motor length just the case or with the shaft also?

I wonder if you can cut where the motor mounts and add 1/2 of material... that would leave everything where it is for the main box and give you some added room in the engine compartment
