Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
so some small updates-
for the pipe lift, I decided things would be way easier cutting if I did square pipe, so I used some 4 inch square instead. Just have to finish welding it up, but everything is tacked.
sizing the square stuff, went with a 3.5 lift-
everything tacked, hopefully get it welded this weekend-
a great development of raising the motor up that far is I think I can use the stock MB engine mount arms and mounts, with the built in provision for the shock instead of having to fab that up. Working on a few adapter pieces of steel to mount the shocks to the frame.
Meanwhile, ive got the body back down near the ground and ive been stripping out all the A/C stuff and other gasoline incidental stuff, like the ECU ect. The plan is to get the clutch pedal in, pivot worked out, and be ready to do the hydraulics as soon as the subframe is mated back to the engine.
taking some time, but slowly coming along.
