It is a Chevy 216 replacement engine. Yes I did hear and see it run and I was very pleased with it. It came from a running pickup where the owner wanted to install a small block v8. My plan is to use all the army bits/right hand drive parts from the wartime block.
The big thing I am having to do is remove the clutch, flywheel and bellhousing and install the wartime bell housing. The orange engine doesn't have any cutouts for the clutch fork on the right side and the rear engine mounts are different. So now I read up on how to accomplish this. Funny enough I hear the horseshoe comment a lot while at work. I've got quite the collection.

Hmmm. I wonder if his CMP will steer towards the race track whenever he drives by?

Easy enough job......
Hi Jordan
Removing the LH bell housing and replacing it with the RH CMP should be no big problem....except that the clutch then the flywheel needs to be removed first to get to the bell housing bolts. Now is the time to have the flywheel refaced, check the ring gear for dentist work and maybe spring for a new clutch........ and have the pressure plate cleaned up....... and the proverbial throw out bearing!!!! You should be able to do wheelies next Summer. Cheers

Be sure to check alignment
Hi Jordan
As I think was mentioned checking the housing is centered is covered in the manual, it is a fussy job but necessary. Also it is possible to convert the the LHD to RHD I've done it twice with success. There are two previous threads that might be of use: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ing#post160268 http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4722 Keep us posted on your progress, I'm enjoying your thread. Cheers Phil

Ive read through the section in maintenance manual. I just need to get the engine up high enough to remove the clutch and the flywheel and then the internal bolts from the bell housing. The repeat on the other engine.
Ive also got to strip that awful orange paint from the engine. Yuck.
