man i gotta slow down. took the k member to work. not sure but man if those are factory booger welds that guy globbed them on. cleaned it off pretty good and painted it with truck bedliner stuff. added a 1/2 spacer to the passenger side motor mount cause it was too low and the oil pan was sitting on the k member. also drilled some new holes to move the motor forward a little so now my intake valve thing on the back of the intake manifold fits. mounted the trans to the motor (forgot the stupid starter plate thing so ill have to split them again). installed the oil pan brace thing. threw the motor/ trans into the car. i dont have a trans mount yet so the trans is just sitting on a jackstand. picked up a explorer 8.8 with lsd and 3:73 gears. looks like they just put new pads and rotors and stuff on it. (before you guys go crazy ive been lookin for a a body 8 3/4 but there aint any around me.) bolted up alternator now that i had room. ignore the no drain plug thing on the fender, theres one in there now.
