Engine Mounts Finished

Finished the engine mounts, rubber cushions and transaxle mounts today. I decided to raise the engine 1/8" via a shim on each side to provide better clearance between the transaxle and a cross frame tube.  Still need to grind off remnants of the original mounts. This will be done before powder coating. DP said there is no need for rubber isolation of the transaxle mounts, so I did not spend the time to do that. There is always the option to do it later if needed.

See pix of right side, left side and transaxle mounts below.  The rubber pad below the mount is 1/2" 70 durometer. Top pads are 1/4" in slightly softer 65 durometer.

Note the water jet cut header flanges I had made. GM does not offer these. The headers are made of stainless steel. The exhaust pipes and mufflers will also be stainless.

I also began to scope out the GMPP engine control computer wiring harness. This was made for a much larger car and I will probably shorten it to fit better.
