74 Snakeskin Gold Dustbag
I went for brakes and the crooked motor situation next. I don't have all the brake pics yet, so I'll do the motor series first.
I loosened the left side motor mount bolt and slid a 1X6 under the oil pan rail. I find this is easier to control and a bigass cherry picker isn't getting in the way. Off came the nut and up went the motor, just about 1/4". This leaves the bolt loose, but doesn't jam the big washer under the safety saddle. I tapped the bolt through and out with a hammer and a round punch. Another bolt will work if you don't have a punch.
I had no instructions, so I went with advice from rumblefish360 and a little common sense. Using a level and some basic math, I determined that the new hole in the K-frame saddle should be about 1-1/2" below the existing center of where the slant-6 bolt used to be. I CAREFULLY drilled a 1/2" hole through the FRONT ear only.
