motor swap

can any body tell me , does the caddy 4.9 bolt up to the stock bell housing or is there an adapter that is required and if so where can i get one . Also what motor mounts do you use, any other tips would be helpful. thanks travis

Eh must be a young guy, or just not computer savvy.  I am guessing under 20 or over 40. http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=103 1&PN=1&TPN=3

I am sitting here looking at the 4.9 that I bolted to my Getrag 5spd LAST NIGHT, with pics posted this exact forum, and nope there does not seem to be any adapter plate.

 

Now to actually answer your questions with a little less sarcasm in my posts.   No there is no adapter plate needed.

As for mounts, there are no commercially available mounts, however there is usually one or 2 people on Pennocks at a time that are making extra mounts to go along with builds they are doing.  Fiero Addiction (google it) use to sell mount kits, but from what I hear he is harder than hell to get in touch with now a days.

thanks for the usefull info that was sent as far as the pm goes the part from what i have been told is a major pain to change so im going to skip it , i already have enough major progects to take care of, thanks.

That's all I needed, just a response to let me know what's up. Cheers.
