Re: Serpentine setup
Nevermind then... disregard that. Although I can still take some pics if you want.

Re: Serpentine setup
Mounts are fine for a v8 in the front holes but looks like that crossmember is moved back 4-6" from where it started....

Re: Serpentine setup
I've not seen a cross member bent toward the rear that badly. I'd be looking for a new one.

Re: Serpentine setup
Drilled out rivets for crossmember and removed.It is not bent as bad as that picture looked. Drilled holes 1/2" closer to radiator remounted with Grade 8 bolts. Have about 1" clearance now.Now for the dreaded motor mount hole alignment. Any tips?

Re: Serpentine setup
Guess I'm too late with the pic.

What usually works for me is to have all the bolts a bit loose, and use a couple tapered punches to get the holes lined up. Keep tension on the engine lift so you can wiggle it around a bit while getting thing aligned. Just keep at it, it will finally go. As long as you have the right mounts that is... |
