I finaly had some time to put the motor together

After 2 or 3 weeks of having the parts and no time to my self I got some vacation and got all the parts painted and the motor put together in one day.


Now I noticed that the tranny mounts are different from the old weak 3spd tranny and the newer 1970 3spd? Am I going to need a different cross member or just the mount for the tranny I got??
thanks all
Tim

prob will just need a different mount. put the two side by side or measure from the bell back to see how long each one is to the mount.

btw I stay away froom black motors.....harder to work on since they eat up all the light (esp when doing a repair at the side of the road at night) and they make tracking down leaks a pain

Yea I could see it being a pain to see leaks but the car is supost to look orginal for clasic stock (all tho its a 200 instade of the 170 that was in it)and the colors were black and ford red... so I'm sort of stuck with the color.. But I don't plaining on any leaks ( I know no one does )

Black and chrome look so good together.

I don't have any info regarding your tranny but your engine looks GREAT!

Tim, looks nice, I like black engines.

Get the engine in & get it breathing air. William

Cool Tim, that's exactly how I painted my engine!

That engine looks mighty fine, arty:

Hope mine will look like that in 3/4 of a year

What paints did you use??
Regular spraypaints from the auto store or a more professional one??

HI RINKE
Yes I just used the motor paint from the auto store. I've had good luck with them. Here's my Big Block I even used there high heat paint with ceramic in it for the headers and they steal look good after 2yrs.
