It¡¯s amazing how many worn, cracked, broken, incorrect things you can find to fix and improve when you just spend the time to clean them up!

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion
I cleaned and reused the mounting plates. ?I got the motor mounts at O¡¯reilly Auto Parts for about $75 for the pair. ?OEM mounts are about $75 each! ?I generally like to stick with OEM when I can

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion
So I cleaned up the plates, bought new motor mounts, and installed them yesterday.

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion
This is what the motor mounts looked like. ?Great.

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion
Love the chrome. I did my intake and bits and pieces including fuel rails and hard vacuum lines with steel-it grey paint. The stuff is amazing and addictive. Yours looks nice and clean. I don¡¯t

Re: Warren¡¯s Conversion
