1962 Lancer Wagon, Lancersaurus!

It's been a long time coming but I have an engine and transmission installed! I wanted to put the 13 sec 225 in but I needed to change the pan and figured I would just stuff my aluminum motor in and let it go. Some of y'all know I have a job in Texas I have to start in about 3 weeks so I have to stop working on the Lancer and get packed. So I just got some stuff installed and I am putting the wagon on the back burner for a while. I am loading the Lancer and the 73 Colt into the enclosed trailer to move and I will get back to it once I get out to Dallas and get settled. Here are some pictures of what I got done this weekend. Enjoy!

The last picture is what drives me CRAZY about MOPAR. 2 passenger side motor mounts. 1st one is what fits the 62 the second is from the 67. They put a jog in the early one and it clears the aluminum oil pump. The second one hits hard but clears a steel pump on the 67. Damn, did we need to redesign the mounts on a slant six? REALLY? That took an hour, just glad I have a million slant six parts around the garage.

Last I want to say that one on my really good freinds Jerry and his wife came by the house today to wish me goodbye. Jerry and I go back to high school together and I am going to miss him! He has a righteous 65 Barracuda that runs in the 10's with a 340. Really nice car and even a better Mopar Dude! Thanks for everything Jerry. We will see each other again soon and this gives you an excuse to come to DFW and enjoy a vacation!
