Got the truck back
Posted: December 1, 2006, 5:19 pm
Well, the guy swapping the motors brought the 66 back yesterday.
Just before the cloud burst.
The old Cleveland is in the bed and the 302 is under the hood. Sort of....
One of the motor mounts I bought didn't have the bolt holes drilled in it.
He put a 2 X 4 under it and brought it back anyway.
I can see I have my work cut out for me. I'm too embarassed to show any pics yet. The motor is just sitting in there with another 2 X 4 holding up the trans.
I stopped this afternoon and swapped the mount for a good one.
I have too many projects going right now. I don't know when I'll really get to work on it in earnest.
I do need to get the Lincoln stripped so it can be hauled away.
I've got to get this yard cleaned up!

I've spent too much money at $60 per hour for incompetent mechanics, at that rate you shouldn't be able to make mistakes. Recantly I got frustrated trying to drill out a brake bleeder on my honda civic (crappy weather and tools) and took it to the shop to replace the eighty-five cent bleeder cap. When I picked the car up my brakes didn't work at all and my very new front windshield was broken. They billed me over $300 to drill out the cap and called me a liar when I asked about the windshield. Every shop where I live has a bad reputation and my experience with most of them has been poor, I wish there were some honest people in my area. By the way the company that did this was Basin Towing in Durango, Colorado. When I lived in Texas I never had to deal with this crap.
