First NSX/Legend engine swap (LegeNd-SX)

[Car2n]

I have my first obstacule... driver side transmission mount new location found but is on way of the coolant sensor connection, a 90 degee style sensor will fix the problem... does anyone knows where i can find one? (if there's one)

If it's the 1 wire one then you can just change the connector on the loom to a side push on style. if it's the 2 pin one then it's not so easy, but i'll have a look and see if there is one available and let you know what car it's fitted to.

p.s. The pics are not that bad at all.

Thanks everyone for tips and support.
Jago: sensor is a two wire sensor, i tried to make a 90 degree 3/8 connectors but thread are not the same, i found out that this sensor is exactly as the coolant sensor on the G1 but since NSX engie is located on mid position coolant sensor needs to be on the engine not on the radiator like on the G1 i am going to relocate this sensor to tha radiator since this will be the natural place for the G1 and just plug with an old sensor the fitting opening

All motor mounts and custom mount brackets are completed... next will be the almost impossible shift linkage...

[Car2n]

Today finish my first protothype of the shift linkage, i was able to transplant the NSX shifter with its complete mechanism to the G1, created a custom lever bracket at the tranny shift arms to invert the shfting motion of the arms, shifting cable was one of my first worries thinking that it won't be long enogh but it came ok on the length, well after planing, drawing, cuting and welding and buying special bolts and nuts, did some ajustments but did not work, only a couple of speeds was able to shift but with a lot of problems so i went back to the drawing board and started my second choice i had for shifter, tomorrow need to do some new cuting to the floor and assemble the new designed linkage and will see...

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and reverse! yes my second shift linkage and shifter worked and never though it will be so easy but a lot of detail work... pics will come soon need to fab the final product with the right materials and proper metal thickness then when is ready i will post some pics i just don't want to show the protothype fabrication...

[Car2n]

Thanks again everyone! today almost completed the final details of the shift linkage (the working linkage), hope tomorrow will post pics, next need to order some custom CV axles, tube bender, tubing (roll cage material) custom steering column and wheel...

[Car2n]

I got some pics of the engine and NSX transplanted shifter with the custom inverted arms devices, i hope these pics are better than the previous i posted
