So I've been piece together everything I need for a b16a swap into a 1995 del sol. I noticed I didn't have the rear T-bracket so I got one. Now that I have it I don't see how it attaches to the motor. The way the service manual has the T-bracket oridented doesn't really make sense. It seems like there should be another bracket that must bolt to the block before the T-bracket will mount. Is this right?

Here's a picture of the rear of the motor:


Here's the T-bracket:

Any help would be awesome.

 

AHAHA, it goes around the bellhousing. you put the tranny on the engine and where the two meet is where it goes on. the tranny bolts hold it on.

 

oooohhhhh, see now what would a newb like me do without HT? what are all of those tapped holes for on the block?

 

intermediate shaft that connects the left axle to the tranny.

 

ps i would leave that oil pressure sensor on there...its just asking for trouble

 

Actually the tranny bolts do not hold the bracket on, it has 3 of it's own bolts that are pretty hefty. Do you have an intake manifold brace and/or header stay bracket? Some of the holes on the block are for those items also, not only the intermediate shaft.
