So we did another test fitting last night and got the motor sitting pretty close to where we need it. It's tight gonna notch the frame rails take a few ore measurements mod the cross members for the motor and trans mounts. Progress is coming along

Alright so back on it. Got everything measured and modified to get the motor mounts to sit in where they need to be. Now to work on the trans mounts!

 

on a side note..... My friend sent me these photos

He was in CO and hauled this blue brat off to the crusher. But he brought me back the Roll bar as a surprise! So that was a silver lining to seeing the pictures.

It is a shame that Brat met its end, but parts of it will rise from the ashes like a phoenix in other cars!

I was debating with myself about buying it when it went up for sale, but it was just too far away.

Sheesh kevin. What a project and way to post all the time about yr brat. Was neat reading about it and seeing where you where and where you are! The motor swap project looks a bit overwhelming, but doable. Thinking about doing the same thing on the one im picking up next weekend.

I was driving out on Sandy here in Portland and spotted this gen 2 so I pulled over and took some pics hoping the owner would come out! anyone know it? It had stickers on the back window and on the tailgate a sticker that said heavy metal.

That was me! Wish I would have read this thread way back, but I missed it. I still have the "Heavy Metal" sticker on the tailgate. It's never coming off. I hope all is well!
