ok. what the hell is up! now my passenger side Y-pipe came off the exhuast
manifold. i got a 3" gap between them. could a bad motor mount on driver's
side do that?
sh~t, now i got fix the coolant bottle and that too :(
just when i thought i was all done for awhile after my tranny rebuild and adding
the 2400 stall torque converter. is the 2400 stall converter making the engine
twist more in its mounts?
