Well, it comes time to get the midget ready to put the pony in.
That means I need to take the motor out.
All together aside from fenders and hood.
A shot of the Weber carb, header, and Bosch alternator.
From the front. Those wires are coming out too.
And finally passenger side.
First comes the radiator.
To get it out, you need to disconnect the shifter, so that the transmission will come out. Start by taking off the tunnel carpet.
Then the retaining ring, and boot.
Next the rubber boot comes off.
Then the shifter. You kind of push down and turn the retainer.
Since I'm changing the car completely, the old overflow reservoir comes out.
Then loosen the header. It may not come out easily. Exhaust manifolds should be easier.
Unbolt everything below the car, and you can start lifting.
The engine always tries to get caught on, and bend up the top radiator shroud panel.
So you kind of have to push in while you lift up, unless you have a hoist tilt.
Keep pushing and lifting.
Mind the oil pan dragging.
Once it's high enough, pull back the hoist, or the car. Your choice.
Considering I have solid metal wheels in dirt, I chose poorly.
Rolling the car back would have been easier.
Little engine next to a full sized human.
The previous home of the midget engine, soon to house a pony.
Passenger mount. I left the rubber part attached to the car on this side.
Drivers side. I left the rubber on the engine on this side.
Showing where the fuel line comes up. I think I will probably have to upgrade it when I go to fuel injection (obviously).
Rattyish wiring, and a battering ram mount that will eventually come out.
You can see the speedometer cable in this shot. The only one long enough that I could find at the time was extra long, hence the loop.
The motor mounts were originally attached to some metal riser thingies. This is what the area looks like with them removed.
Driver's side of the same.
If you are going to leave your interior in place for any amount of time with the tranny out, you should deal the hole against mice and such.
Same goes for the heater, and heater hole.
There's my little buddy, drivers side.
Passenger side. Trying to take some pics of what came out to compare to what will go in.
And finally from the rear.
I actually ended up selling this engine, which worked great, on ebay. I was hoping for at least $200 since I put $1575 in parts onto it over the years… New clutch, electronic ignition, stuff like that. It sold for $723. I was happy.
