Engine Installation

G. Jezarian Racing began installation of the fresh Toyota Atlantic power plant in the Swift chassis this week. The process is quite straightforward and quick but since this car is new to us, we’re examining all potential problem areas in great detail.

After the chassis is supported at the appropriate height, the entire transaxle is first removed as a unit and the engine is bolted in place at the rear tub bulkhead on top and bottom. We then align the clutch on the flywheel before mating the rear of the car to the engine and frame and prepare for final assembly.
