If this weren't on the other side of the country I'd be on it like white on rice.

Does the/or a starter fit the Bellhousing Flywheel Motor combo?

I don't see front suspension in the pics, what is there?

More than Very tempting.

Wow Gotta, looks like you have done a great deal of work and made some great choices around donors and parts. The S engines are great, yet have a lot of variety depending on the year and model. Can you tell me what year and model car the engine is from?
Thanks JEB

The engine is a 3SGE. It has been a while. I think it is a gen 3 from a front wheel drive 1995? from Japan (JDM). It does not have VVT.
I remember mocking up the engine and transmission components (engine, bell housing, transmission, flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, slave cyl and, starter. looked good as I remember.
My plan for the front sys was based on pushrods and inboard rocker arms and shocks. Not complete. I made some jigs for the upper and lower arms. That was what I was working on when the project was put in storage.

Regards

What kind of welder was used to assemble the frame? Is it finish welded?

Most of the frame welds are complete. Welding was done with a mixture of TIG and MIG. Miller Econotig and Millermatic 175.
