Yea.. I did say it was getting neater... I lied :P

Starting to look factory.... Everything in place but the thermo fans for the radiator...

Wiring is getting neater

Anybody got any ideas on how to build the driveshaft to suit from the celsior box (3 fingered output shaft) back to the diff? I assume I will need a slip joint somewhere on the shaft? The falcon had a one peice driveshaft with the slip-joint in the gearbox.. of course this won't work on...

An Update... Finished all the plumbing yesterday, filled it full of fluid today, hooked up the battery... IT RUNS! Touched the key and it burst to life... settled straight into a nice smooth idle.. A few things to finish off : * Charge light is turning on even though...

Just an update... Wiring is nearly sorted.. I should have it hooked up enough to run.. all existing falcon electrics still work as far as I can tell.. (ABS mainly) Sump is built, and is having the dipstick and drain plug added this week... Power stearing lines are done Auto Trans Lines...

Engine Mounts are finished.. Gearbox mount is finished, but pics can wait until I pull the engine/box out tomorrow for the test fit of the modded sump..

Well, finally managed to get somewhere this sunday... Finished modifying the exausts so they clear the body & steering... Built a gearbox x-member.. Test-fitted everything with all bolts done up.. :) Starting to look like a factory fit Next is the custom sump, which I...

I looked at the falcon mount... My gearbox sits a few inches shorter than yours due to a different output housing on the Celcior... The orig plan was to use the falcon crossmember with the lexus mount on the box with some plates joining the two.. I think I will end up with a custom mount...

Well, worked out how to get it in the hole.. Got the engine mounting plates made up on the weekend.. exaust headers will need to be re-shaped a little I think... Truth will be with brand-new engine mounts installed.. For the gearbox I was going to use the lexus mount, but at $350 I might...

After a few more test fits, it seems I have left about 2cm somewhere.... Looks like the exaust manafolds need a little help so I have a little more room to drop it down... O well... I'll get back to it on the weekend.

After A quick test-fit.. it seems the sump is a lot too large... Time to rip the sump off so I can get it low enough to make the mounts up.. then to make a new sump. Need to remote mount the oil filter as well...

standard to start with... I'll be driving it every day, and with a weekly average of 5-600k's I don't want to work it too much as i'm after reliability... Supercharging might happen later on tho.. :-)

Now come the hard part... putting the engine in the new hole.. :-) Anyway.. I should be in bed... :dance:

I ended up making some stands from scrap metal to keep the cut at a decent working height.. the blue stands are there 'just in case' while i'm underneath...

Hey, I'm not from 'cairns' as such, but just over an hour away.... There is a lot of *** imports getting around from what I have seen down there, so there has to be a few shops that do work on them... For turbos, the guy to talk to is "Ray Hall Turbocharging" from what I hear... I'm not...
