Re: Beulah - '49 3100LS10

Time to mount the motor. Used universal mounts from Jegs I believe. If anyone is interested, I can look them up. Cleaned up the cradle for it. Man those stock mounts were hard to get loose. Pretty close to that steering box... Need to see if I can squeeze this u-joint in here.

One other thought here: You can just see that brass fitting coming out of the power steering pump. The stock pump from the SUV was in the way big time, so I swapped it for the truck pump. But the onboard reservoir was in the way. pulled that, and I actually tapped the inlet for that reservoir and put this fitting in. This should allow me to mount a remove the reservoir on the firewall. It shouldn't be an issue as this is the low-pressure side, and the original tank was a plastic on plastic with an o-ring seal. This also keeps me away from the high-dollar Corvette pump.
