Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
ive been nailed to the wall with other obligations, but despite the coldness of the day, made time today to make progress.
engine and 5 speed came out of the 240-
5-speed removed and put aside for the other car. Needs a little work, and definitely a coat of paint.
Found an issue with the adapter, which designed for a 5cly, will not bolt to the 4cyl with the stock oil filter housing. I will have to make some kind of remote filter.
The problem illustrated compared to a 5cyl thats also in the garage- I thought at first I could just switch housings, but theres not enough room and it will hit the injection pump. It will have to be a remote oil filter.
One other issue as well, I pulled the oil filter, and the plate fits great after that, but there appears to be a depth issue to resolve as well. the custom flywheel hits the mounting bolts for the plate when installed. I will have to space it out, or use different hardware or something. Should not be too big a problem.
