Rubber transmission mount is in. I had to ditch the exhaust hanger to fit it without loosening the engine mounts or dropping the exhaust and trans cross member though. Oh well, this is the first car I’ve attempted to keep that hanger and the rest were fine without it. I’m going to call it weight savings.
Another fun topic. I love NOS parts. Especially when they come in the original box. I found NOS bumper guards for my F250. The front end is pretty flat and plain, so these will give it a touch of character. The box has a dated sticker on it. I was 8 years old on that date.
Lastly, today I had to do the inevitable heater core bypass. When I went to install the passenger SFC, I noticed antifreeze dripping. Luckily the carpet is dry, it was just dripping from the evaporator box drain. Not pulling the dash out right now, so for the time being it’s:
That little U hose is from an LS application, and has the correct 3/4 size on one end, 5/8 on the other. Got it from Mike’s BFFs at Summit for cheap. It’ll do for now.
