No... The engine must go under the F*** car. not in the wind sheald.
Good thet you are alive 3rdgenhatchDX...

Umm, that's what breakaway motor mounts do. They break and your engine falls to the ground, that way it doesn't get pushed into your torso.

[lostforawhile]

they don't always break,the chassis is designed to bend a certain way to make the motor go down. the top of the frame rails are weaker in certain sections so the frame tends to go down and back. if they just broke the engine might still get shoved back,the frame actually bends and forces it down.

K so i bought an 88 GMC S15, not as big as i wanted but couldn't pass up the price, i go back to work on monday, and my collarbone is healed except for the point almost poking thru the skin,....only hurts sometimes. but anyways all's well so far, and tim... i think i might put that tip on the truck

Hey we have one of those, we have an 89. They are very reliable little trucks. We've replaced nothing major, but they do seem to have a problem with the windows coming off track a bit.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

Well no i don't have the ability to get anything off the civic, so no clock sorry zack but! they took my Vx wheels too, and ... i think the car is about this ____ tall now, in otherwords it's prolly crushed

The truck has a 2.8L V6, i'm thinking about a 350 swap soon, but the 4.3L looks decent aswell, i dunno the 350 is more complex but i'm just glad it gets me places, and safely it also has manual windows and door locks does your 89? My tailgate is off an S-10 so we joke around and call it the S15.0 or the S15/10 or the GMchevy...

I'll get pix later...

[cubert]

IMO 4.3 swap wouldnt even be worth it....with a decent 350 swap you dhave more power and get slightly worse MPG.

Yeah the 89 has manual windows...it seems the tracks or actually the pieces holding the windows in place (plastic clips) seem to break extremely easily, and we've lost 1 complete window and had about 4 clips break since we've had the truck. So in about 1 and a half years. We have the 4 cyl version though, thats the only diff. A 350 is excellent in these little trucks, and you'll be burning rubber and blowind by the competition in no time. Plus they are pretty decently priced, so you won't break the bank. I don't know if you're into lowere truck, but I have a 91 Toyota Pickup, and the square bodystyle of the gmc/chevys s15/s10s appeal a little more to me with these trucks slammed.

You aint low unless youre laying frame

[3rdgenhatchDX]

Okay cool, yeah i'm thinking 350 anyways but i tried both windows yesterday even though it's freezing they work fine just when you roll the drivers side up it makes a crunch if you wind it too far, but i don't think it's gonna hurt anything, i'm looking into parts for the truck now, i also will be getting another check sometime within the next 6 months hopefully, then i'll prolly have a 3g thinking Lx-i hatch w/a K swap lol j/k prolly B swap we'll see how much $ i get will depend on the swap really, but i'm not going to drive a small car on open roads, we're talking track car only
