Got the old motor out yesterday with the tranny, mounts are shot. The trouble with a 64 dodge 880 is that the only replacement motor mounts run 450 bucks. That's not going to happen, I found this and am looking at fabricating new mounts.

I would go for the gaskets, better now than to take it apart afterwards

Enough talent combined here that could resurrect a 1of 1 starting with one lug nut.

wow, impressive.
I finally got around to put the motor in the car today. Probably wont be able to try and start it for a week or two, busy with kids baseball and soccer and going camping. I do not want to rush break in and start up.
looks great. don't forget to cover the intake opening

Jake: What happened to the paint color on your engine ? It looks to be blue, rather than the Turquoise it was. Maybe its just my monitor. . .

Its the rattle can **** from ma mopar. I am hoping that once I get it fired up and hot, it will dull it some.

one on my 70 shows filter after pump....would think a proper sized filter before mechanical pump wouldn't be a issue...will wait to see what others say..curious..

I agree after the pump. You don't want to restrict fuel to the pump.
I was hoping someone had a pic of there throttle/kickdown firewall bracket. P/O used tye wire to hold it in the bracket, I cant find what I need to strap it in the bracket. Finally piece to the puzzle before I fire it up.
