The old engine has been removed and is prepping for the new.

The Pontiac GTO engine is being placed into the Scout... checking the position in the frame.

At the customers request, a little more horsepower was needed plus you can't mistake the sound of a aftermarket cam.  A Comp Cam and springs was ordered thru Brian Tooley Racing.  The crew at TW also have there hands full, they are designing and building custom headers and engine mounts.  Since the frame is power coated, the frame cannot be cut or modified in anyway.  

The engine fits but it will need the firewall modified slightly and custom motor mounts designed and installed.

After testing the fit of the engine, several issues are coming up.  Should the car drive accessory or the truck drive accessory be used?  In the truck kit, A/C pump is located closer to the engine which would eliminate frame modification.  There are several issues that will have to be discussed with the customer considering extra expense in modifications and aftermarket parts.  

Unused wiring is being removed from the rig....

A engine support bracket was placed under the engine so the motor mounts can be designed and built.  The original frame mounts are welded on the frame and must be used since they already powdered coated.

Left and right engine mounts.  Power coating is coming soon!
