Thanks Chuck! I've been into about 3 different Sub forums.. I can't believe the confusion on those 'expert' channels for info!!
I imagine a lot of it, is the number of people who own transverse mounted engines can't wrap their head around one that is mounted longitudinally.
Most of the debate was figuring out which cylinder was #1!!!
sheesh.
Your post clears it all up!
(edit- seeing the cylinders are numbered so the 'passenger side' are the ODD side- and 'driver side' is the EVEN).. were these engines mounted both ways in vehicles depending on the chassis?
Not near as confusing as the old Cummins v-8's with left bank being 1,2,3,4 and right bank 5,6,7,8.. but I digress!
I'm really leaning on a Sub power plant in the future, and have been inhaling every post on these engines!
Good rebuilder/runner type 2.2's are still fairly cheap and reasonably plentiful- around 400-600 bucks.
