Finally got around to the job I was dreading. New motor mounts. What a pain! I had to drop the control arms completely out to get to the bolts. But totally worth it! These new UMI Performance motor mounts are stout! And will make getting at the motor mounts in the future easier. The job would have been a lot easier ifI had a lift. But I don't.

Got the engine cradle/ k member painted. In doing so I noticed the standard steering rag joint is worn out. So I ordered a borgeson replacement shaft.

Repaint engine... And now wait for more parts to come in, and some new hardware to bolt it all back together again. But already looking better. Oh and another weekend to put in my new UMI motor mounts. I've been putting all this off because I knew all this was going to put the car down for at least a few weeks. I still need to pull the intake off and reseal it.

Just to geek out on vintage stuff I put an old GM ignition module housing on the tunnel. Not using it just wanted the look. Was trying to figure out how to make it a small compartment to keep my registration and insurance card in. But gave up on that for now.

FluidFlow gauge clamps and tools. But on this project for the vintage look I had to run the old school red and blue fittings with steel line. that's all Russell. I've got all FluidFlow products on my Jeep and it's high quality at a good price.

Oh also got time to fit the strut tower brace from UMI performance Suspension. Now it's designed for a tune port injection for fitment. It's supposed to go up and over. Well with my set up and having the air pan it surprisingly fit down and under. It clears by 1/8". So I guess I could have ordered it done and welded from UMI. But I thought I was going to need to make my own bar. Oh well just need to weld the bungs in and touch up the paint.

All back together again. Drive shaft is nice and tight now. Didn't realize how bad the old bushing was. Didn't have time to put fluid in and test yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

However, the gear proved to be quite the knuckle buster to get off. It fought me the entire way off the journal. And also broke the tang off the retaining clip. So had to order a new clip. Once that gets in I can put it all back together again.

Finally had some time to work on the Camaro. Need to change the speedometer drive gear off the output shaft. Got the tail housing off and cleaned, installed new bushing and seal. It's ready to go back on.

But my dad traded the white 67 super sport, the tow car from the photo above for his half of the Anglia. And he still has it. He added a radiator, side pipe mufflers and treaded mickey Thompson tires to make it a "street car".
