          How did you get the Jesus bolt out? The M18 1/2" High Torque does something like 1100 ft/lb ... may be a good investment.

            They have a engine and trans mount kit. The rest I ordered them individually.

            A very expensive Impact Gun and soak it in WD40.

                      That is all.

                            Update..

                            check the video: https://www.instagram.com/p/BA6PHRQIwFI/

                            Almost everything is done except for the brake system, issues with the brake fittings.. should be resolved this next week..

                            and the driveshaft.. Garagistic put the wrong carrier bearing on there... so I have to get that resolved with them..

                            but after those 2 things it should be drive-able to the exhaust shop to have them build my exhaust for me. Then she will be done..

                              Looking really good, but I would re-consider your brake reservoir mounting

                                why?

                                this is like the only place i can have them mounted above the master without being in the engine bay.
