One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

I adjusted my motor mounts by loosening both bolts on both sides of them and used a prybar to shift the motor into the position called for in the TTI instructions for positioning the motor.

It did lower the motor about a half inch and lined up the transmission in the center of the transmission tunnel. I spent the rest of the day trying to shape the boomerang shaped part that makes up my rear motor or transmission mount.

That 1/4" plate won't bend unless it is red hot. Then it takes about 20 minutes to cool down enough to touch it and see if it is going to fit. It was a challenge to get the many bends right and have it line up over the plates that will hold it to the cross member in place of the stock one. I had it in and out a dozen times until I finally could get four spot welds on it, so I could remove it and weld it up completely. I just finished welding it up a few minutes ago.

I still need to drill an additional hole or two on the driver's side, as I only have one of the factory ones left after cutting the notch. It is one stout piece! I am still going to add some gussets to it, since I have that plasma cutter and mig.

I never did get around to pulling the motor out to change the top of the notch, but I might get to that tomorrow before work. I also have to grind some of the welds and paint the crossmember. It looks like I will have to shim the rear mount to get the proper engine/trans angle in relation to the pinion angle, but it will be easy to do with this new mount. All it will take is a small plate with two holes drilled in it so it fits between the transmission mount and the crossmember.

There are still a lot of small things that need to get done before the car is on the road. I have to install the B&M Shifter and wire it up, swap out the dash to the Rallye Dash I picked up at a swap meet, throw on the front suspension, install the vintage Air, order a drive shaft with 1350 U-joints, install new carpet, bolt the new seats in and re-flash my computer with an upgraded tune.
