57 ford front truck motor mount located, cleaned, and sprayed.



Located a 3sp Bellhousing. Very nice shape. The only thing I had to do to it was paint it. Switching plan from the t5 direction and going to go with the 3sp setup. Have a flywheel from the 239 engine that is a 10in clutch flywheel. I think I should be able to use the clutch plate off the I6 if its a 10 as well. Makes me think that maybe I can use the flywheel too. But not sure if the flywheels from a I6 is the same for a Y-Block.



Waterpump almost cleaned up. I've been using Metal Rescue to get rid of light rust. Wire brush it and throw it in a bucket. Check it every couple hours. Works really well and is eco-safe. No stink, no gloves. Good stuff. Water pump needs one more dose with the wirewheel and then back into the bucket for a couple hours.
