Re: CA18DE LHD '72 Coupe

After tonight, there's not one reason to stop until I'm done. I got busy putting the suspension in and decided to go ahead and install the motor and transmission too. I never did get the suspension fully installed, but I sure did get the motor and trans in. I'm so glad I got that all together before I painted. So glad everything got mocked up and fabbed in before. It all went back together like a glove. Now I can finish the suspension bits, and plumb the thing in.

It is a bit tight to the firewall, but there is sufficient clearance all the way around. Exhaust nearly doesn't clear the steering box though.

Wonder how many coupes in the US have CA motors in them? Seems to be more prevalent in the down under. Well, thanks you guys for all the help (the Tech Wiki is awesome) I couldn't have done it without you guys!
