C6 front drive
 

Hey car looks great,front drive looks good on your motor,hopefully everything was ok with it.

Nice motor! Gonna be a wicked camaro for sure..

So got the motor mounts and adapter plates last night from Frank over at prodigy. Big Thanks to him and their team for dealing with me:thumbsup: The old man came over and we mocked everything up to see what where dealing with. Im going to take it apart again and have the mounts painted nice and finished with stainless hardware when it goes in for the final time. Starting to look like a car more and more as we go...I cant wait to start this thing for the first time. Next up is the oil pan and headers, then intake, tb..ect..onto the pictures.

I got polyurethane mounts from summit and they come with a piece they say to install. When we mocked it up is didnt seem to fit. I left it out for now. Any input on if this plate needs to be installed??

more to come soon..

Hey steven car and engine are looking real good,sure would like to trade you engines

I never used those pre-load plates either with my S&P mounts. Same problem. But I also trashed two sets of the poly mounts. Not sure why. Changed to solid this year.

Motor looks great in there. :thumbsup:

Cool man thanks for the info. :thumbsup: Thats what I wanted to hear. My dad pointed out another thing I need an opinion on. When we where putting the motor mounts onto the actual frame the one way they hang over the edge, but the other way they sit on the frame touching it all the way. Seeing the way it hung over the edge I said it cant be that way. My dad though it was. We put it the way I thought and he emailed me today saying he was right...see the picture below. Can someone confirm which way they sit? Does it matter?

Mine are also like this.

You must be excited to see the motor in there. It looks great. My engine stands hung off like that too.

Got my oil pan in from mast and it looks good. It will be installed this weekend and I will be painting the floors with por-15. More upates coming..

So I didnt get over to work on the car as much as I wanted to this weekend. My dog has been pretty sick but she seems to be doing a lot better. I did get the oil pan installed but no painting, maybe next weekend. I looked over the internet for tourqe specs on the pan and pickup and came up with the following on top of the pictures. if any of this sounds wrong please let me know.
Heres some pictures.

I torqued the bolts that hold the pickup mounts on the deflector pan to 28 lb-ft

The pickup tube to the pump was torqued to 9 lb-ft or 106 in-lb.

Here is the view from when I first put the bolt in. It made me uneasy seing it that close to the chain so I went to the hardware store and got a shorter bolt that did not come out of the back.

The main 13 bolts for the pan where torqued to 18 lb-ft and the 2 end bolts that go into the crankshaft cover where torqued to 9 lb-ft or 106 in-lb.
