Isn't it amazing how small that engine looks in there when the bay is cleaned out? Hard to believe such a small thing can make that kind of power. Where did you get those solid mounts, Frank?

Got the mounts from Mike Lee (RPM). They didnt fit !!!! No matter what i did i couldnt get the holes to line up. I ended up cutting a 1/8 inch out of the Moroso motor mounts on each side then rewelded them back together. I had the motor in and out 10 times before i gave up and cut them down shorter. I can imagine doing them with the motor and trans still in the truck!!!

Weird.
When I installed mine I had to take the 1/4" spacer/backing plate from the ES urethane mounts & install them between the block & the mounts to get the bolt holes to line up.

Re: Making progress on Ty

Looks great. Did you tell MIke Lee about the motor mounts? It makes me wonder how many more are like this. I just ordered a set from him and would really shoot the truck if they do not fit..

Re: Making progress on Ty

Well it up and running now. I had a few small leaks to deal with and a rocker arm problem that turned out to be defective rockers. I drove it aroud a bit today and since i have no tune in the bigstuff 3 system yet i did not make any boost. Tommorow is off to Harry Anderson to try to put a good tune in it, and i hope it stays together! Its been a huge amount of work to build this truck and im glad its almost over as im out of motivation for awhile. I will update after the tune goes in.
I can say that I have nothing but good thing to say about Mike @ RPM for all the quality parts i bought from him and the tech help along the way, George Blake of Prime Gears was also very helpfull with his advice and the trans he built for me was a beast to say the least! Ive also gotten loads of help from other SYTY members here and i am greatfull for all the help threw this ordeal! Now i need to get to the track and video some stuff 4 you guys to see.

Awesome! Seeing guys like you tackle all of these projects on your own gives me hope as I progress through mine. Hope to see some good numbers out of that thing. :tup:
