DONT JUDGE ME!!!

The bottom bolt was missing and it was hitting the block and making bad sounds.



I am looking for the part after the dogbone.  It holds the A Frame and Sway bar mounts.  Its basically goes from front of the engine to the back side.


I am still tryin to get a LSD.  So if any can contact him tell him i have cash. Ha HA

Money pit Beretta you never feed wrong info.  Just tryin to help.

Note: I am moving into my house this tuesday so yeah I doubt I get out there and do anything.

To use Isaac's dogbone, you remove the stock one and drill a hole to put it in. It will help put the power to the ground and decrease engine rock on hard take offs. Less engine rock=power going the ground harder and faster.

Or  you buy my ONLY spare SHORTER dogbone and use the stock mount piece.  Much better solution.

Ok I need some help here.  I am wanting to paint the engine bay.  Anyone have a good website that tells me how.  I mean I dont want to use a paint brush.  I rather spray it on.  I have a gun and have a paint booth somewhat built.  

I am also wanting to here your op. on me putting the engine and tranny all together and then instead on dropping the engine and tranny from the top. I drop the car around the engine and tranny. I think this is how it is done in the factory.

Also needing an LSD STILL!   Tranny is sitting and is ready for the case swap and the LSD.

Hey man just remember to get rid of any rust and use a rust converter. I don't know about dropping the car, I thought they dropped the engine/trans into the car(I could be wrong). I would think that it would be more easy to move the engine with a good hoist and some people to keep it from falling over. It's best to buy a book on how to paint. Where is the LSD?
Eastwood Company has a spray(or quart) of what they call Under Hood Black. It's a acrylic lacquer and can take heat up to 250F. You must use self etching primer or rust encapsulator under it(after the rust converter is used).

yes, easier to put it together then drop the car on it.

Its not hard to paint, mask off what you dont want paint on and go to town after sanding then washing it and letting it dry for a long time.
