Let me paint a picture of irritation and cussing GM engineers......
This car was a factory 6 cylinder car, which is no bueno for mounting a V8 engine, the frame side mounts must be changed.

Of course, they're installed using bolts and nuts, which the nuts are accessible via the small area in the crossmember, where the lower control arms install....

Nuts can't do nut things if they're liquid!
I ordered a complete big block frame and engine mount kit, it includes the frame mounts, engine mounts and all associated hardware to install said pieces.

Going through the control arm access holes, I managed to get the nuts installed rather quickly.

Basically ready to install the L33 Aluminum 5.3 and 4L60E tomorrow, so I can haul the car over to the highway patrol to be inspected. That way I can get a title issued for the car, then really turn up the ante on getting this shitbox going.
I swear, GM Engineers will climb over a pile of virgins, just to ******* a mechanic.
