Subframe Installation



Time to push the engineless Citation X-11 into the garage!


This is what we think of all those who do not attempt this swap.
The new drivetrain patiently awaits for an opening to slip past the X-11's framerail.

The old engine cradle was removed, and the 26mm anti-swaybar separated from the cradle, destination: Robert Cope's immaculate 1981 Oldsmobile Omega.
Nobody's home...such a lovely engine bay:)



The entire assembly is in! I must say, it is quite a handsome engine.

Always better to play it safer than sorry...here you can see the amount of space to the passenger's side of the engine. The smallest amount of clearance from the framerail that can be seen is 3/16th". However, because of the advent of the poly transmission mount, and because I am using 4 of them, this 3/16" won't make any difference at all, as the engine won't be able to physically move to go anywhere, not even 3/16"

The Caddy V8 engine is now officialy in the car.
