Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I HATE putting that plastic mock block in by myself. After the one motor mount bolt insert started spinning I've been trying to be extra cautious but it's a pain guiding the assembly in without dragging the tailshaft on the ground or gouging the block. Obviously it's do-able because I've done it a few times already but one of these times I may end up telling my son the $500 he paid for that chunk of plastic is busted.
It's back in the car and I've bolted the driveshaft loop to the cross-member. The alignment doesn't seem to be too far off. I'll have to tweak it a little before final welding to get it better centered.
One thing I noticed is that it's not mounted as rigidly as it did with the stock configuration. To avoid having this thing bouncing up & down against the floor it has to be better. I think I can solve the problem with a third mounting bolt added into the center.
