This is the alternator
bracket. This is nothing but a Chevette alternator bracket with some
of it cut off. The 2 bolts you see in the bracket line up perfactly
with 2 that are on the head. You could drill another hole to make
it line up with a 3rd bolt. But I pulled, and tugged on this thing
and it does not budge. And the belt lines up. Another thing
you will need to do is pound in the valve cover just a little bit on the
corner. You can bearly see it though. You will also need to
re-locate the battery. Since I took out the heater I moved it back
to where the heater used to be. Eventually it will be going in the
hatch.
Next you will need a piece of steel about an 1/8 in thick to make your transmount extension. By doing this the chevette transmount and crossmember can be used.
This is
what the piece should look like. The center points of the holes are
about 1 1/4 apart. the holes for the chevette transmount should be
off set about 1/4 to the passenger side. And everything lines right
up.
This is the finish
product. After bolted up you will need to drill one new hole in the
crossmember for the tiny bolt that does not work. If you try this
swap at home and get under the car and start eyeing stuff up, you should
get an idea on what exactly to do to this transmount. By using the
chevette transmission mount the stock exhaust bracket will work.
I put these
8th inch spacers between the floor pan and the crossmember to give proper
clearence for the transmission. You will need these because by using
the transmount extension lowers the transmount about an 8th of an inch.
This sets the tail stock down just enough to it does not rub the floor
boards. I only had 8th inch steel laying around or I would of used
1/4".
Here's a picture
of the chevette crossmember, transmount, transmount extension, and the
crossmember spacers. You will also need to grind away a little bit
if the transmssion. You can see if you look at the picture real close.
The grinding does not interfere with anything important.
You can see in this
pictuers the driveshaft just bolts right up. NO cutting and welding
taking place here.
here is the picture
of the throttle cable bracket. It's nothing but a chevette throttle
bracket cut down to shape to fit right in the passenger side rear carb
bolt. Some grinding needed. I do not have the kick down cable
hooked up, I just shift by hand. Much more fun.
