Vert Mounting a B230 ?

[katluke]

Okay it might seem like a newbie question to some but what is needed to be done to Vert mount a B230 engine ? I know I will need to modify engine mounts and also a b20 Oilpan is needed ?? Just curious as to what needs to be done to the oilpump and also what alterations do people do to the gearbox (M90) to fit up correctly to the now vert engine (linkage/bellhousing mods) ? And any other mods I might have overlooked ? I have done a search but couldnt find the answers,thanks for any replys.

Neither of those threads really gives a good answer on what to do when mounting the upright motor to a slant gearbox.
Unless you're planning on dropping in a 140 gearbox then you'll still need to reclock the bellhousing or similar.
I am planning on using a different gearbox when I upright mount my engine so I'll be starting with an auto bellhousing and doing a lot of work to it but I'm not sure how easy it would be to reclock the stock bell.

Just a wild guess here, but I'd say you have a few options for that gearbox you want to use.

Cut and weld the bell housing back together

Move motor upright, leave gearbox tilted and modify linkage (and hope it gets lubricated)
