i have been doin reserch for a while on the 7m swaps due to lack of fundage to do one myself. i am wondering if there are any major mods/fitups i have to do since my frnt diff will not be suspended. i know an oil pan mod will be part of the to do list, but i have no clue shere to hammer/ cut and weld so any help would be rad

if you take a hammer to the side that the diff is on, you can actually smash it in enough to clear. If you get a 2" body lift, it will make this easier. I recommend cutting and welding the pan though. But if you must smash, you need to remove the pan first as you will crush the oil pickup.

The oil pickup also has to be moved. If you send me your pickup tube, i can do this for you.

sweet, i dont have a tig or even a place to weld yet so i feel pretty helpless. eventually ill prolly tig one out of aluminum

just crush it then with a hammer. Do this with the oil pan attached to the motor with ALL the bolts in and of course the pickup tube removed.

And again, send me your pickup tube and I will take care of ya.
