nw_david Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 so here the deal, i recycled a gl-10 sedan. i got the entire harness with no cut wires anywhere, and now have a running motor to put in my project wagon. once i had the wiring out i decided to have a little fun. i've never ran a motor just sitting on the floor so i tried and it worked. heres the pics the wagon waiting for a motor front fenders from the sedan for the wagon check out the meaty winter tires that came on the car heres the motor like the fuel system and heres the motor running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That is the coolest thing ever. Running the motor out of the car with a functional dash, out side of the car. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Sounds better than some motors that are still IN the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratsrus1 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi This is Jerry, i built an engine stand for my 2.2 engine it had oil pressure gauge and the radaitor hook up. When i open up the front 2 barrels it would pick up the stand off the floor about 2 inches. It's really cool to see an engine running out of the car. Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 My brother in law has something like that set up in his shop but its permanant for "experimental" reasons on a '63 VW bug motor :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Very cool. You should hook the exhaust up to a hose venting outside if you are going to run it a lot. But there is no better way to prove it all works without putting it back in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
