Poor mans Hemi car. (M-body)
In the fifties this weekend, got a few things done. Sat. finished up the front suspension and put the rearend back in so I could push the car outside and do some much needed cleaning. Today I put the motor and transmission together with an adapter I got from T.R. Waters, really nice piece and well made. New B&M torque converter and flex plate. Set the engine in to check fit. I bought some new small block poly motor mounts but they didn't work. I will need to get some new big block mounts and modify them, but for now I have one small block mount and one big block mount. I'll also need to modify the tranny mount but that shouldn't be to hard. For now I'm just glad to see it in.
