GMT400 Chevy/GMC Front Clip Removal & 632ci Big Block First Mock Up! (Uncle George Suburban Build)

What happens here

The removed factory engine mounts are examined. It's noted that they are ovalled due to wear and tear. Use standard nuts from a hardware kit for the test fit of the new engine mounts, rather than the original ovalled ones. This ensures a proper snug fit for accurate measurement and positioning.

Goal: Examine old mounts and use appropriate hardware for new mount test fit.

Tools and materials

  • Hardware Assortment Kit — Providing temporary nuts for test fitting
  • Removed Factory Engine Mounts — Inspecting wear and tear

unno that rightful soell now we can pick two of the easy ones to use to hold the other ones in for mockup uh what was making that difficult too is um the nuts these like safety nuts you can see they're ovaled out a little bit mhm we can mock these up with regular nuts from our handy dandy bolt bin that way we can just thread them on by hand then it's like snug in there and not going to move like cuz we don't want to not bolt them down because they might move and then look like it fits but it doesn't because it's not tight we're going to bolt it down but we're not going to use these because they're going to be mofo so we'll use like some work nuts kind of forgot uh I wired up the lift yesterday so now we can use that to our advantage which I just did by being able to stand in here and get those work nuts threaded on there relatively easily uh now we can load this thing back down and try to plop the engine in flies Hil um cleaning your bfgs yeah look at those white letter BFG
