Magnum swapping the 72 Scamp!

Remember its a marathon, not a sprint. Consider putting a shim under the motor mount to move it a little, as long as all the threads on the bolt are on the nut, its secure. Level is not vital, consider how the fluids slosh when you turn. BTW be very careful about the pulley alignment, just a little bit off can throw a belt at high RPM's. Ask me how I know! Lol

Marathon not a sprint... haha sound advice. Definitely feels like I have been messing with this a long time already.

For the mounts... yeah not done yet on those. I have a couple buddies coming over this weekend and some spare aluminum to use as shims so we will explore some options then. I was under the impression the carb would be happier being level, but maybe its not that big of a deal. The header hitting the steering box is my main focus on these though.

For belts, good call, I will definitely get some precise measurements and make sure they are in line and use spacers as needed. I picked up some new belts today as well, found gates brand ones in stock at the local oreilly.
