Ohh yes, I learned that lesson on my Wifes 66 Mustang. Brakes are the first thing, new Master, lines, shoes and drums. Always make sure a car can stop before you make it go ;)
welcome back Khyron!! Nice find.
Do you think it could be old weak springs or is it a big bottom end rattle?
Keep us updated and hope you enjoy this great site.
It's a Big bottom end rattle. Again, the wifes Mustang did the same thing, new crank and bearings solved it. This is the original motor with only about 87,000 on it. So I'm going to just rip it out and freshen it up a bit. While the motors out, I'll paint the engine compartment the correct color also. I'm not a big fan of the black compartment.
