I'm going to Waukesha this weekend to grab those motor mounts hopefully. You still have that hydro? I'm running new brake lines right now so that would be killer to do at the same time. Oh. And fuel cell? Maybe?

Unfortunately I sold the hydro already, sorry bud.  But you can check out the fuel cell if you want.  I guess its first come first serve?  I dont really have a use for it.

Also pointing out that I pretty much went full retard yesterday.  The reason the motor mount stud wasnt long enough was because the mount arm was upside down.  I forgot the motor sits so tilted and that the mount should be close to the headers.  Whoops

Worked on the motor late last night but ended up getting overwhelmed when I got to the harness/fuel rail. Hopefully having so better luck today.

Saturday morning the motor looked like this

Spent a total of 12 hours yesterday with a lot of help from Jeff, Earl, John, and a couple of the Lower Standards guys, the motor is in! The harness is on and once I get some new clamps for the fuel lines and put the drive belt on, it should be ready to start!
