Prepare Engine Block (Flexplate & Motor Mounts)

part it's not tight because i still have to put this on with thread sealer and kind of you know like line it up perfectly once it's like in with the cable and all that stuff so we're going to shelve that for now and get to cleaning off the components that bolt through the engine before it gets set in there the ac compressor brackets the factory bracket using this dart block but i had to modify it a little bit to get it to fit you can see i had to shave this down it's a flat disc i just use the flap just to grind this down here some in here some in here to get it to clear some of the castings on the dart block but other than that bolts up perfectly fine and it uses atomic fab solid motor mounts which are fine they don't vibrate or anything like that but he's got poly ones if you don't want solid ones these ones have been great i did have to do some clearancing on here a little bit just i wanted to fit perfectly in the frame cradle so did that that's it though they bolt right on got them cleaned up so now we get to dig through the miscellaneous bolts in the bag and figure out what goes where i'm gonna get as much as we can on here before the engine is dangling because it's hard to bolt stuff when it's you know swinging around with this bonnet friction billet sfi flex plate real tank we're gonna bolt it on there with some arp flex plate bolts some of your rio g's might remember uh hatchet man from race week gave us hatchet in the parking lot and kearney well he gave us some cool old tools too like these wrenches that were curved that's how i don't know i'm sure they'll be used for one of those eventually just found one so benny we're using your wrench to uh tighten the flex plate here because the the curve happens to be perfect to you know you can see a bolt through there and then the other side is holding on the transmission dowel so when you turn it doesn't doesn't turn so there you go how's it working in here
