]]> Comment on RACE WAGON HEART TRANSPLANT by Troy http://www.racingonthecheap.com/race-wagon-heart-transplant/comment-page-1/#comment-4839 Troy Sat, 19 Jun 2010 05:10:26 +0000 http://www.racingonthecheap.com/?p=2473#comment-4839 Thanks Steve. I was close to giving up on putting the motor/trans in together. First I tried straight in, then motor right/trans left, still didn't work. Finally motor left/trans right and max angle on my balance bar gave me less than an inch clearance at both ends. It will never happen again unless I want to strip all the accesories off beforehand. I scored the CVs cheap (of course). A friend of mine switched diffs on his CSL and had to go with unequal length halfshafts, so his old ones were just sitting around ;-) Troy Thanks Steve.

You have made great progress. This post made me laugh because I attempted to put my new 710 motor and gearbox in a few months ago and finally gave up as I had already installed the aluminum radiator, painted the car etc. Took it back apart and did it the old fashioned way. (I do have a lift and a trans jack so I can't whine) You are going to have to change the name of your blog as this build has gone way past "Racing on the cheap" BMW CV's? come on..... :-) Keep up the good work! Steve Troy,

The fuel pumps and fuel filter will also reside within the shell.

Do you currently have plans to do that? Best, Ron Hi Troy,

I will paint them red as the rest of the car, then attach them with large aluminum rivets making them easily replaceable when some "race rubbing" occurs. I've known many who have smoothed them on with filler and lots of hours of body work, just to have to do it all over again once or twice a season, arghh! Hopefully final paint photos by the end of summer... Troy Hi Steve,
