Still working on my 302 conversion. Actually I'm still working on getting the 2.9 out of the way first, but my little 2 car garage seems to be getting very small from the parts everywhere. Anyway to make a long question short, what's a good medium asking price for these parts? A BW 1350, radiator, a complete fuel injected 2.9 with harness & computer, etc.
I have a guy thats coming to get my engine sometime this week for $550. That is the engine, tranny, and tcase with computer and harness. This is for a 2.9L with 152,000+ miles. He came and saw and heard it run before I took it out.
Yeah $600 is what I was thinking about asking. About the same miles as yours Phillippi. So you doing the swap too? What kind of motor mounts & radiator you have in mind?
Motor mounts are going to be 1/2" plate on 2.9L rubber mounts. Radiator im not sure on. I am going to see if I can keep the FS radiator and cut away the front clip to make it fit.
Unless someone knows of a small 4 core that I could get from a boneyard.
I do at home and I am at work right now. I will post a pic tomorrow. But basically its 1/2" steel plate with 2 holes in it to bolt to the block. Lower it to the inplace 2.9 mounts and mark where the bolt and guide pin holes need to be drilled. drill em then bolt into place.
UPDATE! I found the pic of the plate for the mount.
Yeah I have that pic. MRE right? I just wondered if you might have something a little more detailed. I can see that there is 7" between the block mount boss holes but exactly where do the motor mount stud & the motor mount dowel holes go? I guess like you said, I may just need to eyeball it, but if you have anything more specific let me know.
Thats the only pic I have. I plan to eyeball it as best I can. I am hoping to mark up the bolt and dowl pin and then drop the engine down marking the plate. we will see how good I am at not smearing the marking all over the plate....
