rear mount bracket cut and bolted to one hole i have to weld on another tab and old it to another different hole. and i have a front mount added to the stock cross memeber also for more support.
shifter is on the plate now to get done
i then put the swap back in trimmed the stock cross member a little bit to clean the oil pan some more.
then i put in the drive side axle i had and the passanger side will be here tommrow with the half shaft.
then i decide to look at the header issue i will be faced with and well after some work with the chop saw and the welder i sectioned the stock header about 1/2 and pulled it closer to the block i now have it fit 99% i have to trim the cross member about 1/4 of inch and it will bolt on minty.

this weekend i will be taking a drive to see biohazard and get my rear trailing arms and my clutch peddle set up and then i can make my rear axles.
after then i need to just get the fuel set up done and get all the coolent done and then drop the big money on Kpro and try it all out.
Good luck on your build!
Looks like they were planning this 20 years ago

but i did some more work today i notched the cross member for the header some what i have to do some more.
then i put in the half shaft and the pass axles so now i have all the axles in.
i started to fit the drive shaft and rear diff and well that fit suprer well also the leangth is right where it needs to be i need to make a mount for the center support and then make some more mounts point for the rear diff then that is done i will prolly tackale that this weekend
i really wish i could run a stock wagon diff but i am not sure if gear raito is the same as the elemnt tran i used so i bought a rear diff to match the trans... but if any one can help me out and tell me where to look for gear raitos for the the wagon and the element that would be grea if they are the same i can sell this one and just put a stock wagon one in...
Subscribed! Keep the updates coming.
People do orthia rear diff's though? Maybe investigate that a bit more perhaps
from doing alot of asking and talkin the stock wagon rear diff should hold up to my need i have a stock K24 and that is howi plan to keep it for now..
epic tuning civic hatch with the wagon drive train made 400HP and did not break the rear after 4wd burn out and track time then my daily driveing out of the 200 maybe K24 wont break it...
last night i ordere all the fuel fittins i needed and once they come in i will get the fuel done.
ordered my RYwire.com conversion harness and my charging harness they should be here this week some time..
after the fuel and drive train are done i need to make a exhaust and plumb the cooling system and then that should be it.... she should run and drive all that will be left is call my wiring guy and have him come do this Kpro stuff and see how it all works out
many more pics to come this week
