motor is installed finally

[diamondstar36]

Well, I finally got my butt in gear and took the time to install my motor this past weekend. It's spent the better part of a week on the floor waiting and ready. The only issue I seem to be having is the SR20 Nismo mounts make clearence an issue. I tried moving the motor as far down as possible in the sleeves (on the mounts), but my hood barely closes on the motor. I actually think the hood rests on the timing belt cover, but I'm not sure.

And BTW, if you can at all costs, avoid buying an ABS car. Holy mother of crap, that ABS unit is a ***** to deal with when changing harnesses.

So did you actually get the motor in or not? I used the NISMO motor mounts with my CA and I didn't have any problems at all.

Oh yea, the motor is in and secured. I've already started connecting the harness and other crap to finish it off. I was just curious if anyone else ran into possible clearence inssues. It's not really a big deal at all since the hood closes and latches.
