2019 summer race.... Jadaharabi vs 318willrun

Well I thought I'd stay up and see Santa Claus when he came by and so I thought I'm going to go work on the Dart while I'm waiting on him. So I put a couple hours in on trying to get the engine back down into the Mounts on the K frame.

I got the headers on but let me rephrase that I got the hieaders in their but not bolted up to the engine because the engine is too high I can't get it to sit down in the mounts because the driver side is about a half inch Forward and the passenger side is about a quarter inch off to the side it is started into the mount but it's stuck there. And of course that makes the engine cattywampus.

I've tried lifting at the back of the engine I've tried lifting at the front of the engine I've tried lifting at the middle of the engine I've tried jacking up the tail shaft on the transmission I've tried letting the tail-shaft down it doesn't seem to matter this son of a gun does not want to go in straight. So I call it quits on that at about 3:30 a.m. .


Hope everybody has a nice Christmas.

The race continues. But I'm getting pretty tired of this crap trying to get that engine down in there. It's got me mad enough I'm about ready to list it for sale with all the parts that go to it.
That sucks, check if the mounts are on wrong and or the center link or pan isnt hitting anything. Pull the brackets off all together and check that it will all sit down where it should period, then eye the brackets as to what the problem is.
