Gearbox mounts - we had to cut off the 120Y transmission tunnel mounting brackets for clearance to reverse light and speedo cable. Were thinking about making the usual box section mount sandwich plated through the floor, but it turned out the Stanza x-member is spot on the right width, so we used that and mad some L shaped brackets to weld into the tunnel, with captive nuts. At a glance you just see a factory gearbox -xmember and it give much more room for the exhaust to be tucked up too.
Shifter is bang in the middle of the factory shifter hole too :)

did a little bit of seam welding in the bottom of the engine bay while we were under there, mainly because the factory spot welds looked a bit dodgy.

Harry, are you using the Bluebird brackets or the 120Y brackets? If your using the Bluebird ones, this means I could probably use the standard Sunny crossmember with B/Bird brackets, instead of using the Stanza crossmember/brackets. Keep the photos coming,please.
Paul.

Using 910 Bluebird engine brackets and rubber mounts, and the 120Y's x-member brackets.

Spent a couple of hours this morning tacking this up. Figured it will be the cheapest way to get a bit of power out of it.

Over to the dark side eh Harry? Next thing you will install 'non period' wing mirrors
Cheers.

I've been on the dark side since 2005 mate. Why stop now!
And it's only cheating if you get caught. I don't think anyone will notice, do you?
hehe

I'm not going for anything too powerful. The idea will be to limit it to a sensible level that hopefully won't break the 63A 5spd and BW68 diff.

a bit more progress. Exhaust almost done. Inlet pipe pretty much sorted and turbo clocked. Tomorrow the manifold comes off and gets welded up, then it can all go back in and finish the exhaust for the external wastgate...
