Well, got the engine and tranny pulled last night. Found out the PO had NO bolts holding the motor mounts to the front crossmember. In fact, the passenger mount fell off of the rubber mount on the engine as soon as we pulled the block. Meaning no bolts from the mount to the block OR crossmember. Also the tranny mount only had one bolt in it and it was loose. Also the rear U-joint fell apart when we pulled the driveshaft and it had NO grease in it. And the tranny was just installed last year...think he should have re-used the mount???
I'm glad I'm doing a frame off to correct these issues. I will know everything about the truck and know it will be solid and safe as well as hopefully a sweet looking ride
Here's the rest of the pics from the evening
engine will at minimum be cleaned, painted body color, and dressed up with a BUNCH of chrome goodies. May do some more power upgrades as well depending on timing/budget
