Dont forget about the slingshot either...
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.
SHOP PARTY!
You bet your ass you're invited too!

That would be rad. How much would you sell for it roughly? 9202847917. Have any pictures?
I dont know, gotta see if you like it first hahah. I'll throw some pictures your way tonight though. I have to go to dinner for mi madre's birthday before I can work on my car.

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
ha it happens after working on them for a while

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!

Question- how should I effectively take my radiator core support off? Hack it off? Mine is kind of bent, so I at least have to build the bottom part custom. Hopefully my front end comes together and lines up...
I cut the middle section out first, leaving only the 4 corners. Then from there it's just drilling out tack welds. My lower part was so rusted that I couldn't even find the tack welds, so I just used an impact chisel on the seams. The tops where the fenders sit on was easy, but the lower parts were kind of a pain. I pretty much hacked the bottom ones off. Because drift car.
When you pick up those motor mount arms you're welcome to swing by and check it out.
