Rolling frame. Notice the two
different shock absorbers. Both are wrong. The left one is too long and has caused the frame rail at the motor mount to crack. The right is too short and won't let the a-frames go fully down. There is a photo in an earlier post that shows the lopsided stance from the front.

The engine is out sitting on the floor
and the frame is rolled out onto the drive. When the motor was pulled
out, I noticed that the front plate on the engine that attaches to the motor mounts has an additional plate welded to it. Seems like a strange place to have to reinforce. I'll get to this when I take the engine down. I was anxous to get the engine out to see if there was any evidence that the block may be cracked because there was still coolant in the radiator and block. No damage yet.
