My suggestion is only to replace the collapsible bumper mounts. They weight something like 8-10#, and can be replaced with solid steel tubing. The tube size is...
IS it the rear main? That heavy accummulation on the heads (ABOVE the crank, & OUTSIDE the bellhousing) makes me suspect your breach is topside. Rear of the ...
I'd like to select choice (d): All of the Above the rear seal was leaking, i'm sure other things are leaking too. I've replaced the valve cover gaskets and...
I was thinking of adding that but I figured someone else would point out all of his sins. I didn't want to be a meanie. Good job....meanie. :p dennis wilson...
I always treated the bolts on the oil pan as a regular inspection item myself. I always find that they are loose on my car so I make a point of tightening or...

My 408w is based on a budget stroker kit, centered around a reground 400m crank. I'm fixin' to do a clutch job, and figured i'd have a spare pilot...
Has anyone had any problems with aftermarket trans mounts (energy suspension) not lining up with the either/both the trans bolts holes or the cross member...
Had issues with the ES trans mount we put in the CP car, but it was far from a factory-original setup. IIRC the holes in the tranny didn't line up properly....

Go dremmels! I put the ES mount next to the orig mount I took off (which is beat to sh*t). The bolts and holes seemed to line up, so maybe something else is...
Probably a good thing to do. Remember, these older cars have had lots of opportunity to move about, and the other two mounts can play into the fitment...

After doing a clutch on an SVO, just to get the bolts to line up in the tranny I had to go back and loosen everything way up so I could grab the tailshaft and...
LOL oh man, that's a good one Thanks for the advice Steve about loosening and moving thing around. The only thought I have on that is then you would be...
I seem to recal having to open up the slots in the crossmember a bit. I think that possibly the bolts that ES use were a little bigger than the studs the...
That is the issue I had on my 86, the ES bolts are a notch up in size and basically threaded themselves through the cross member.? I have had the cross member...
Yep, I opened up the trans cross member slots via a round file when I replaced the oil soaked and wasted rubber mount on my '86. The ES supplied bolts were...

Steve, while i can totally see how loosening everthing might work work to get the tranny mount's stud in the x'member slot, i'd still be worried...here's...
I agree, steve-o. My junk slips right in without forcing. Forcing this stuff would make me nervous. I'd rather slot. Say, did you try j'diddy's advice...
I didn't flip the mount, how do you mean. I think it only goes in one way (?) With the arches upwards right? Or did I totally jack that too? sigh... You...
Did I mention that the `87 GT I have is a ragtop? I bought this car new and drove it less than 10,000 miles in it's first five years. After one year of...
Darius, In case i can't find that issue...how did your through the floor, side exit exhaust turn out? Any issues with street driving it? I forgot if you gave...
Ahh, like a CP autocross car, only they usually take up all of the passenger side or run down between the outer door panel and roll cage. Nice and tidy. I'm...

What about doing something like running it through the floor like Darius has it, but then through the hatch area and back out. Either through the rear light...
