Heres some interesting tech I just figured out that I didn't know....

The 7M motor mounts are actually bolted to the block one set of holes farther forward then the 5M mounts. I never really noticed it until I was trying to put the 5M mounts on the 7M. So here is a good comparision shot of the mount location.

You can also see that the 5M and 7M mounts are totally different.

Here you can see that I got all the accesories stripped off the motor now. (Alternator, AC pump, PS pump)

And here is what it looks like under the valve covers. Not too bad, just looks like some oil staining to me and very little sludge build up.
