Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
Something to note: You had the engine up on a chain hoist with the front mounting point the generator stud . . . that is super dangerous in that I've seen these intake manifold castings crack/break. Not only would it probably ruin the engine (or crankshaft at the least) but think about it falling on your feet (or other body parts) if it ever let go.
You're much better off using two longer Grade 5+ 3/8 NC bolts into two front intake manifold locations.
Not trying to pee on your shoes, just hate to see a terrible accident happen to anybody else.
Nice work on the engine, chassis, etc.. You're doing an exceptional job on all fronts.
