Just got a call from Art. I gave him the bushings i ordered from merc for the rear engine mounts so he can press them in at the shop. Says the bushings wont go in. WTF. These damn rear mounts are pi$$in me off. I dont want to go to rear plate type mounts, because it will be a pain in the a$$ taking all that apart again, machining, starter issues, etc. HUUUUUUUHH

Since my dad is doing the bellhousing machining...I think that makes me exempt. I'll be the official drinking spectator/smartass comment maker.
