81T > 74, 99 tcmf (wordy) Posted by tibbidoh [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: wow, I's gots the 900 virus, but this is bad, Zaab ![]() |
I dropped an 81 T engine / 5 speed into a 74 99, it was a long and arduous adventure including radiator modification (both at the rear motor mount & I changed it to a diagonal cross flow radiator), motor mount issues, shift linkage, welding in a new parking brake ratchet gear, beating & cutting the fire wall, making an alternator bracket, beating up the hood so the alternator could spin, adding a clutch pedal (mine was originally an automatic 74,99) swapping out the fuel system & tank, reworking the electronics, and the question was it worth it?
Dang right it was, it is a hoot to drive and I now have one of the best looking body styles (imho) combined with a great engine.
