OK the motor is put together and now back in the engine bay of the monty. I just have to finish hooking up all the accessories and the exhaust.

OK here come more questions:
1) Where does the groud wire on the drivers side of the motor mount? It has been so long since pulling the motor that I can't remeber, plus I didn't have a baggy marked with a bolt for it seperatly from somehting else, so I think that means it might be associated with another set of bolts like the AC bracket or something???

2) Has anyone gotten heads that had a different number of studs then the original? I was putting on the exhaust last night and found that the new heads on the driver side had every hole filled with studs and the passenger had all but one with studs. Meaning I needed 11 nuts, well I am 2 nuts short from the original setup and now I have 2 bolts that won't be used... What size are these nuts? Can I get them anywhere, like Home Depot or Lowes?


Oh yeah Frank, thanks for the heads up about the converter, too bad I thought I did it right the first time, but didn't... I had the motor almost all the way in, and it just wasn't enough, had to pull the motor out again and reseat the converter then reinstall the motor, ARGH!!!
