We did some work on my car tonight and some videoing.
First we scaled the car empty and with me in it for our baseline.
In the process of removing my B16 we are doing a reverse how to B swap 1st/3rd gens. Kind of a cool idea Brian came up with. We also did a small segment on corner balancing and how the B vs K engine position will improve balance.

We have everything drained and disconnected so Saturday we are dropping the motor and trans and prepping the bay for the K swap! Feels like suddenly things are moving quickly!
Yes there will be another corner balance performed once the K is in and running with and without driver. We video tapped it and will share as part of the series on the swap. I believe they should be getting posted soon.

Case is the exact same on the 5 and 6 speed. In fact you can convert a 5 speed to a 6 speed.
it depends on the motor but the K20a and K24a all work together. There are some others but I am less familiar with the s series.

Brian mentioned last week about the possibility of them going up this next week. We pulled the motor on my car yesterday and welded up the frame rails where we had to do some cutting. We discovered the rear mount, production version, had a flaw that made the holes not line up. Looks like they can be corrected with a bit of grinding and powder coated again. I know he said some sets were made so not sure how many were impacted by this. we hope to have the left and right mounts welded in this Wednesday evening.
I got all of my fuel system components finally. Can’t get things as quickly as you could in the past.
The SpeedHut speed box arrives as did the speedo cable. I think this is going to be a very slick solution to keeping the dash working as it did originally and work with the vss style transmissions. Same company that makes their cables custom made me one with all the correct ends.

I think it is.
what’s really cool is it has GPS. If you want you can just use it for the initial calibration or leave it in permanently. This way it will adjust to you tire size and if you run different tires, like I do for track and street, it will auto adjust to those. I really think it will be a great solution. I want the dash to function fully.

Surprisingly it’s not that close but something I have considered. I may wrap my brake lines as they are the lowest and closest. Fuel lines are high enough it may not be an issue but easy to put a sleeve on them if it is. I wrapped lines in the past. So many product options depending on what you want to protect from heat.

Hope to have mounts welded tomorrow night and motor in for good. Am going to check valve lash prior to install as well, just easier to do.

Well, we didn’t get to work on it tonight. Brian didn’t get the mounts finished in time. Looks like it will have to wait until this weekend.
