The next conversion begins.....

[BlackC55]

We now have to wait for a new starter motor for an E55 as it is on the other side on this engine. We should have one by 2pm.

We will have to modify the wiring loom too. A hrudle we did not expect

 

[BlackC55]

Oh and we have fitted new aux belt pulley and belt tensioner too.

Whats happening to the old '43 engine then?

 

[BlackC55]

Starter motor fitted. I hope it clears the steering box.....

Just the loom to modify.

You should install a webcam in the workshop so we can watch these conversions live!

We could watch him curse when he discovers the starter motor doesnt clear the steering box.

 

[BlackC55]

IT CLEARS!

Engine in and bolted up

 

[BlackC55]

Will it ever run again....?

This has got to be one of the best threads of the year.

It's amazing what you pros can achieve in a day.

Hats off to you. Well done.

Will it ever run again....?

Well if it doesn't, one of you will have to master making loud brum noises while rocking the car from side to side for tomorrow!

Quite fascinating all round.

There has to be a good few BHP in better exhaust manifolds

 

[horsesuitedfool]

Cant wait to see it in the flesh....

 

[BlackC55]

Radiator in.

Condensor in.

Just need to plug in the wiring loom and modify the coolant hoses.

 

[A210AMG]
