Been very busy lately and making great progress. Everything was removed from the engine bay but the steel brake lines. They were loosened from their brackets and pulled out a little so that I could paint behind them. Used aluminum foil to wrap them from overspray which was very easy. Believe me guys, if you ever want to change the color of your car please think twice and be ready for some work to get it to look good. Overall I am very happy with the end result but can't say I'd do it over. Probably would have just repainted it red.
Elantra brake booster, (with the thin Colt firewall spacer, Thanks Berserko) master cylinder and prop. valve. The booster is quite a bit bigger so I should have a firm pedal when everything is back together.
Got the correct hydraulic tensioner from Mitsubishi and got the timing belt on. 4G15 front engine mount bolted to the front of the 4G63 along with the Elantra t-belt mount and she's ready to drop in. Kinda odd seeing a 4G63 with only one drive belt. No AC or power steering to rob power.
I also modified the AC bracket. The DSM intermediate shaft bolts to the back of the block but uses one of the AC brackets "ears" as a spacer. I decided to cut that ear off and ditch the heavy bracket. This way the shaft stays nice and straight and it's the correct distance from the block.
Only a few more wires to trace. The engine will probably be going in later on tonight.
