Looks like its a rear. Here is a picture from a SC400

oil pan clearance. If I remove the studs and just use regular bolts, I should be ok...I hope!

Passenger side firewall clearance.

If it was for the A/C, the engine could go back another 2 inches.

And here is just a picture of the engine going in. Doesn't look like it will fit...but I tell you, it does.

Had to shave the oil pan to clear the steering. Also need to lengthen the pickup tube in order to clear the shaved part.

Here is what it looks like on the engine

Put motor in for the last time today. I had to keep testing fitting the exhaust and finally just welde on a 2 bolt flange were the 3 bolt flange was.

I also used an old tensioner with an aluminum mount and cut if off and welded it to the hydro fan pump in order to re-gain some clearance.

And the oil filter bracket fits just fine. Doesn't even come close to hitting the frame.

Here is a picture comparing the radiator clearance before and after the hydro pump removal and modification.

And then from underneath at a look at the exhaust flange.

The exhaust needs to come down between the frame rail and the torsion bar. Very tight fit.
