    Another Delphin Build with m60

    Been a member on the forum for awhile so i figured i start thread on my build
    I picked up this delphin


    Drove the m20 for a couple weeks and figured it was time for a engine change so i picked up this bad boy with 90k miles


    quickly went to replacing all the seals, gasket, guides and cleaning up the engine ready for installing

        Decided to get a behr z3m radiator to keep it oem looking


        also got a Tilton brake reservoir to make things cleaner for the manual brake setup. The best place to mount was near the battery tray



        also got the revshift guibo for the 6 speed transmission flange

          My goal for the swap was to get it legalized in CA so i modded the headers to look "Oem." It was a super tight squeeze but i figured with enough patience anything is possible ;D I used flaming river steering shaft pieces to get my the most space possible
          heres pictures of the modded exhaust manifolds, everything was trimmed short to fit and everything was nice and tight on the car



          The hardest part was the y pipe on both sides, it took awhile to make everything line up perfectly with clearance to put oem bolts easily

            got the remote reservoir mounted on top of the cover and it fit perfectly to keep things and nice and neat



            I also redid all the hard lines in the front to make things cleaner and installed a adjustable brake bias and i also got lucky that the valley pan cover only needed a cheap gasket rather than replacing the whole thing



            With christmas just around the corner i did manage to mount the engine and I'm pretty satisfied on how it close i am to driving it around

              Feels good to get it dropped in that first time huh?
