you sometimes need to shave a little off of the inside of the motor mount but other than that you are good to go.

 

[redneck]

[Dooley]

The message you have entered is too short.

 

[Pope]

Nothing they are bolt in.

 

[Hypnotiq]

you need a motor mount and shave alittle off the inside of it so the picco sits nice and purdy..

Also.. get these button head screws if your putting it on flm tvps..

I was wondering about this myself, so I can use the flywheel/CB/clutch shoes off my 5.9 on the Picco? I have Max Life shoes and a new set of mugen 1.0 springs NIP. What about the brass collet, will that transfer right over also?

 

[Pope]

Yep everything will transfer just need to shim the cb and that's it.

ohh you mena shaved motor

the crank-case on the picco is a bit fatter than the HPI sport mills and will not seat down into the motor-mount correctly.

to correct the problem you take a file & bevel the inner edges of the motor mount where the mill block bolts to it.

this will make more sense when you have mill & motor mount in hand & try to mount it.

 

[MikeK1981]

Thanks Pope, good info as usual guys.

 

[redneck]

thansk guys also will i have any problems like always whellying while in my x frame or will i have to run higher gearing to stop that from happening

 

[M0rphin3]

Good luck with trying the higher gearing, I ran 19/47 on a stock F4.6 when i used the X TVP's and that mill still pulled wheelies, now with a midtank and EXT FLM on 17/47 it still does every so often... with that PICCO your more then likely going to need to go with ext TVP's and high gearing, just my 2 cents tho

Here is a engine mount tapered for the picco, I just did a quick job and removed more then I need. File and check, as soon as it drops down into the mount, your done.
