Notice the alt belt tensioner is part of the mount. It is important to tie down the 3800sc vary well. A Dickman adjustable dog bone was used with the new mount as well as down below. With the engine in I made the upper engine mount and boxed it well. Lots of room with a full inch of hood clearance. I installed the motor at this point and checked fit. Do you think your engine has belts and pulleys? Once the alternator was mounted I found the place to mount the belt tensioner and made a mount that would also become the top engine mount. I used a bolt point in the block for one mount and made a vary strong bracket for the other. I mounted the alternator were the ac would sit first by finding a path for the belt and then how to hold it there. The front engine mount was made first using the trans to position the motor. The engine was then installed with a flywheel from to the Getrag 5 speed and set into the cradle. This is done by welding a 1/8" thick flat bar across the under side. The cradle has to be reinforced by boxing in the front cross member. This is done by dropping it out the back of the car. The car is a 1985 Fiero GT with a Getrag 5 speed.įirst thing is to pull the 2.8 out of the car. The sercame with wiring harness,starter,alternator,flex plate,and OBD2 computer.
The engine I'm using is from a 1999 Grand Prix GPZ that I picked up from Langley Discount Auto & Truck Parts for $2,000.
