Engine leveling
As I was checking various things prior to putting the body back on the '66, I noticed the engine was not level - left side was down about 3/8". Motor mounts are new, and there is no obvious damage to the frame arms, or whatever you call those things that take the motor mounts.
I shimmed the mounts on that side about 3/16" and jimmyed it around to where it's only about 1/8" off. Has anybody else checked theirs? What is an acceptable tolerance?
The AIM doesn't mention it, so I guess it's not something they worried about.
