With the clear weather and high atmospheric pressure, walking was once again manageable. I was happily skipping around the shop, graceful as a little gazelle and making plans to hang my motor and get started on whatever needed to happen to fasten my motor mounts.
I had looked at 12Bolt and balked at paying $115 for a set of mounts, so went to Speedway Auto and opted for the $7.00 ones that were reported to be the stock units. When I pulled them out and went to attach them to my block, only one of the bolt holes lined up. “Hmmm”, says me to me “clearly this isn’t right”.
I trudged back inside, and opened the page to 12Bolt and sheepishly pressed “buy” for the previously too expensive set. While I’m waiting for 12Bolt Tom to box and ship, I’ll get my bell and transmission bolted onto the end of my block so I can locate my frame bracing that has the trans X member built in.
