Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

I had to call Mark and have him come over to help me put it back together.
Need a man to work the jack to raise the engine to get out the thru bolt. And it never fails that the new stuff doesn't fit like the old. The new mounts moved the engine forward about 3/8". Now the header flange didn't line back up with the exhaust pipes. Mark had to use a tie down strap, to move the exhaust forward to line up with the collector. Put everything back together, and started it up and had a small exhaust leak on the drivers side. So after it cooled down I restraped the exhaust, pulled it forward more and tighten the bolts. No more leak.

Pic 1 and 2 is everything back together.

Been driving the truck this week and everything is great...Jim
