If it don't fit force it, if it brakes it needs replacing anyways

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Ok I have the motor in and harness all hooked up, just need to mount dash in, and hook up.It looks like I'm gonna have to redo the airbox,cause its not wanting to fit over on the drivers side corner,its a little long so it looks like I will be able to trim some of the tube off to make shorter.

another shot

so many wires

[over_rev [OP]]

Well I now have the dash all hooked up and fastened down.......what a pain in the arse :.order:
         now I need to install the throttle pedal/cable.fuel tank.and install fuel lines
         I ran into a problem with the mass air meter I need to trim some of the engine compartment to fit the air box and MAS

passenger side

Looks good:
You could move your battery to the other side and mount the air box on the passenger side. It'll give you a straighter shot to the intake and make that part easier. You'll have to run longer bat cables though.

Thnx!
    thats what I was thinking move to passnger side make longer wire to plug into MAS

[over_rev [OP]]

 SAWEEET!
        all finished up and back from test run,I blew the computer and broke a birfield.the computer I think was bad cause It blew when I gave it 1/2 throttle on a dirt road,put new computer in and ran fine.
            I mounted airbox on driver side,and battery in original position.I'm so glad I did this swap..... :thumb:
 the only PITA was airbox and dash mounting....

That dash look cool, is it a little higher though

[over_rev [OP]]

yes the dashboard does sit about 1.5"'s  higher.the steering wheel is a little large I keep hitting my left hand into rollcage,I ordered a grant steering wheel.

I am doing the same exact swap, 22RE and 2nd gen dash swap.  I can't see any of your pictures for some reason.  Any chance you can email them to me?  tobyota82@yahoo.com  I have also been looking for tech articles on a bunch of boards for the 1st gen to 2nd gen dash swap.  Did you just dive into it?  Any other info or hints  you can give me?  Can the 1st gen steering column be utilized?  And could I just put a 2nd gen steering wheel on the 1st gen shaft?  I'm assuming the older wheel is larger than the newer wheel.
