I just bought this Del Sol already having the H-23 swap put in it. It seems to me like the previous owner bought the cheap Ebay mounts. It sits low on the driver's side and a little cocked forward, plus the motor tips back. It makes the driver's cv shaft **** close the shock fork. Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem or knows what to do when they encounter it.

 

Replace the crap Ebay mounts.

 

looks like the problem is on the passengers side at the trans mount....

buy a set of mounts (hasport, innovative, ESP, drop, avid, etc)

i would never buy something that looks like that under the hood....:/ how much did you pay

 

its my buddys he got it for a decent price the mounts are black with red inserts im pretty sure there ebay mounts were taking it out now cause we took off the inspection plate and theres a mouse nest in the tranny lol found it by spinning the crank and heard a lil noise in there its the nuts they brought in he might end up getting the hasport mounts

 

first post you said it's your car....and now it's your buddy's? Which one is it? Either way, replace those crappy mounts before other issues arise.

 

he was about to post it but couldn't post attachments so i copied and pasted it
yeah he's gonna get hasports soon were just gonna pop it back in and make sure it runs

 

was the car originally auto?

 

yes it was
did the passenger side tranny mount bracket need to be swapped to 5-spd bracket cause i doubt he did that

 

I think your only solution here is to cut off the mount and weld in a manual one. I don't recall ever seeing an h mount + auto to manual.

 

Yup, AT to MT Del Sol. That was the first thing I thought of when the pass side is higher than it should be. The motor naturally leans back to the firewall though.

You can always go H2B and get an AT to MT B series mount.

Have fun.

 

yeah we just took out the auto mount bracket gonna get the bracket welded in today

 

she fired up with starting fluid after we jumped the auto shifter crap
gotta check the fuel pump and main relay to see why the pump isnt working
were using the dizzy that came with the motor with the external coil i traced the wires on the prelude wire harness and found i could add it to the del sol harness by depinning the black/yellow wire and put it where the black/yellow wire goes to the external coil and adding the yellow wire from the coil where i depinned the black/yellow from and adding the blue wire from the coil to the other big dizzy plug on the del sol harness
