This is my lack of knowledge speaking, and I apologize ahead of time, but.. How does this coversion work at all, seeing as the 850's are FWD? So how does mounting the tranny and drivetrain match up?..
Thanks for your patience!
what about the other driveshaft slot then?
When you use the trans that comes on the v8, there are two driveshaft slots.
What?
With the help of a couple of other tbrickers I'm making slow progress on my own version of a coil on plug conversion board. I'll update this thread as soon as I have something to report on.
Here's a picture of the prototype I made a few weeks ago:
What happened to this?
Mounting it straight up with a 960 oil pan, power steering rack, and unmodified fire wall is questionable. It's absolutely possible and doesn't present any issues except for the fact that the motor ends up very far forward. Far enough to where your fist would easily fit between the back of the head and the fire wall. Now that I think about it, the distro might actually still fit if you go this route. Personally it's way too far forward for my taste.
I say either keep it tilted and bolt on the 960 stuff or hack up the firewall and make everything from scratch like karl and I are doing.
