The bracket isn't touching quite there.... I think its cuz the index bolt had to go into the frame at an angle, wasn't drilled in the middle of the frame



Good day when the engine stand is empty! Got the underside of the trunk in epoxy and finished buttoning up the engine, still need to set valve lash and finish painting. I wanted to get the engine in and determine the driveline angle for the 4 link onto the 12 bolt.

Figured I'd try the headers I have ... NO GO! Anyone need some coated headers for a SBC?
Anyway, that's it so far, will work on the air bar tomorrow and try to get the holes drilled and cinched up tight to the frame as per the instructions.






Finally installed .... I know the orange doesn't match, I'll have to respray the whole engine ....GRRRRR!

Yeah ... they don't fit, need to call AME!


I called POR15 people about the colors not matching and they said they changed the recipe some years ago .... now I have to respray!!! Figure I'll get her running and then just spray the complete engine like GM did ...


Thanks for looking ....
