Ill purchase one set

For the brakes, my buddy has an 04 mustang and he is trying to convince me to go hydroboost.. It looks like it is a viable option, but i need to find out if mustangs lines are metric by that year...

No i havent got a starter yet. Didnt know if I should get the kia or the 3000gt.. I ran into a problem though.. I have a really nice RPS flywheel for the 3000gt engine but the kia tranny needs a pilot bearing and the flywheel has a really small hole and from what I heard does not use a pilot bearing. Soo, i may have to see if someone will machine the hole larger to tolerance fit a kia pilot bearing..Only thing i did starter wise was try the 3000gt tranny gasket on the kia tranny and the bottom half nothing lined up.. That worried me until you told me the 3000gt starter fits..

here are some pics on photobucket http://s1155.photobucket.com/albums/p547/steppesquest/

I need driver and passenger doors for my quest. I live near pensacola florida but will drive a distance to pick them up..

Oil pan fits perfectly without interfering with anything. I have my tranny bolted up and its good to go too. Thanks to the person who posted the eclipse intake, I appreciate that.. I would use it if mine didnt fit so good. Definitely an option thought. I have an rps flywheel and light weight front pulley that is not underdrive. I want to post pics but this is being a pain and is not letting me do it..

The site wont let me post anymore pics for some reason.. Anyone had this problem. It says I only have 138mg left out of the 500 available to me

How much for the flanges?

Its an auto from a 2003 tundra with a 98 montero bellhousing. Not sure which torque converter ill use, but they look pretty much the same between the tundras and monteros. They may have different bolt patterns to mate to the flex plate.

Yeah, it seriously just snapped into place just like the 2.6

The pan looks like it will fit no problem but i cant say for sure because they sent me the wrong one.. I need a 4 bolt main pan and i received the older 2 bolt style with a narrow opening. And... after trial and error, no other pan off a montero or anything else will work. The 4 bolt girdle is so large.

The intake is off a 2002 diamante so it faces forward, It interferes with the booster by an 1/8th in but it will work when its trimmed. Only issue I have is the brake booster is touching the corner of the valve cover. The motor in the pic looks like it is really far back but the bellhousing is protruding in to the engine bay much farther than the conquests was. I can easily undo the top bolts from over the valve covers and I could mount the starter too.. I would consider moving it a little farther forward but the intake is Really close to the hoodline now and the steering is in a good location in relation to where the trans bolts up. Ill look at it today. The block was easy to mod to fit the montero mounts, I had to remove a 1/4 inch off a casting nub and they bolted right on.. They have a really strange metric pitch thread though. I had to get them at napa. They are 1.75 pitch, so are the bellhousing bolts. I have the tranny in there too, its a tundra 2wd with a mitsubishi montero bell. Bolted right up and fits great..

What kind are they? NA or turbo

Pics!!!!!

The main girdle on the 6g72 4 bolt is pretty heafty. Man, I have so much 2.6 stuff but i just have a hard time parting with it because they can be made nasty. I have been wanting to put a 6g72 into a quest for 10 years. The hardest part of the wiring is going to be integrating a few plugs into the starions dash portion. I have the vr4s ecu harness and it is going to work. It even matches the starions control relay. The pinouts may be different but I could swap wires to match.

6g72 vr4 block weighed in at 97 lbs and the 4g64 is 81 lbs. I think the v6 will be close to the 2.6 weight.. The 2.6 has a massive crankshaft..

So far it is going pretty good, It actually fits better than rumour describes. I will post pics soon.

I was at the junk yard yesterday and found a montero with the engine out.. I saw the bell housing poking out and i pulled and bought it.. $22 bucks.. I have a 2003 tundra that i converted to 4x4 and had the 2wd tranny laying in the gargage.. The montero bellhousing bolts right up to it.. They are aisin trannys.. I dont know how you'd control it, but the tundra tranny will fit in an auto quest tunnel no problem.. Its not really bulky.. I wonder how good this combo would work for a 6g72...

I have a tps but cannot test due to my engine being out of the car.. I have a few actually.. $20 bucks

Yep thats exactly the one i have.. I thought maybe someone would want to try it themselves or like you said, motor swap into another vehicle.. It is pretty cool and I bet it could be one of the only ones in the states.. I paid for shipping let me tell ya..

This is the block mocked up with an evo 8 intake, evo 3 exhaust, hyundai small port 1g head with rear cas and an auto starion bellhousing

Pic attempt #2

I'll do $150 plus ship for block.. Its not as heavy as youd expect but i will try to get a quote.. It comes with main caps..

Let me try to post pics again.. It did not work
