surprisingly my new clutch ,pressure plate & throw out bearing came in so i should be able to put that all together and put the engine up in the car this weekend and i might even get started on wiring .

Have any of you tried Extreme tape it is rated to 500 degrees F and it has no glue and you heat it to get it to bond i am going to try it on the wiring harness i am hoping for good results
well i tried some of the tape and it work good i will finish putting the harness together and then use it . the only thing i don't like about it is you have to cut off a length of it to be able to wrap the wiring it is hard to use right off the roll but i will take pictures off the harness when done
thought i would post a few pictures of the wiring i still need to wirer the TPS and knock sensor and wore power wires and ground wires then i can wrap the harness
Wow I just found this info last night this transmission comes from a Acura Legend it would allow you to do a LS or SBC longitudinal it comes as a 5 speed standard or a 6 speed and a 4 speed slush box as you can see the diff is mounted more like a THM 425 from GM
i just need to wire the knock sensor but i am taking the weekend off but on Monday i will wire that up and should be able to finish the wiring then i will give it a test before wrapping it then put some oil in it and fire it up
Well today was a sad day as my mother passed away at the age of 86 she had Alzheimer for over 10 years she fought hard and passed quick and with little pain due to the great program and nurses to make sure she was not hurting in the end
today i tested the megasquirt and wiring the only thing i have wrong is 2 wires on the tps just need to swap the ground and 5 volt positive and i need to run a injector and ignition test

I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's a long time ago, it was very painful to watch her slip away, you and your family have my condolences.
motoracer838 it isn't so bad at first when they are just forgetful but in the end when they become like a vegetable and can not talk or move and even getting them to just eat because they don't know how to anymore and they have no clue who you are and don't even know you are in the room with them it makes you sad for them
well i fixed the 2 wires on the tps and the wiring is done and i put the exhaust on so now i just need to plumb up the fuel lines and coolant lines and vacuum line then add some oil and battery and start it up

I had no idea the legend had this kind of drivetrain .I always thought they were rear wheel drive . That is really interesting , I found Legends for as cheap as 500.00 on kijijii ontario . Thanks for posting this , I wonder what the whole assembly weighs .

i like that it is set up for rear mount starter so the flywheel just needs to be made with the Honda ring gear
I like that the differential could be swapped out with one from another MFG with a more appropriate final drive. Plus it would be rather simple to install a small drive shaft to get it out from under the engine and can flip the diff and use it for an extended wheel base mid engine setup.
Lots of possibilities... All it needs to be even better is for the output shaft from the transmission go out the backside as well for AWD applications.
look it can have a shaft on the back side so you could do AWD i think just remove the plug that is next to the bolt they have circled
Well... you'd have to figure out how to put a diff rather than a spool in that side housing if you were to do AWD. However, it would be find for use "Lambo Style" with the pulleys to the back, the transmission ahead of the engine and the diff back by the pulleys
