09:59 AM Tom_L: plated with something
09:59 AM JT-Shop: shiny for sure
09:59 AM Tom_L: usually the off greenish color

10:09 AM * C3-Shop writes his name in the snow with morse code
05:41 PM C3-Shop: it does start...
05:47 PM Tom_L: progress
05:55 PM JT-Shop: I think the motor mounts are bad... the fan hits the fan shroud
05:56 PM Tom_L: could be
05:56 PM Tom_L: i assume the frame isn't tweaked
05:56 PM JT-Shop: fan is about 2" down from the top of the fan shroud
05:56 PM JT-Shop: who knows
05:57 PM JT-Shop: started right up and fast idle sounded correct
05:57 PM Tom_L: you didn't see any sign of bent doing the front end
05:57 PM Tom_L: nice
05:57 PM JT-Shop: nope, no sign of damage to the frame
05:58 PM Tom_L: i'm sure mounts wouldn't hurt anything
05:58 PM Tom_L: kindof a pain to put in
05:58 PM Tom_L: maybe get to them from the wheel wells easiest
05:59 PM Tom_L: never done a vette but i've changed a few of those
06:00 PM JT-Shop: I might go over to a friends house he has a 4 post lift
06:00 PM Tom_L: you'll need to support the engine of course
06:00 PM Tom_L: with a floor jack etc
06:00 PM JT-Shop: in any case it needs to run by next Friday so I can get the alignment
06:00 PM Tom_L: fan too low to run as is?
06:01 PM JT-Shop: it was not turning when I fired it up
06:01 PM JT-Shop: it may turn after a bit but this is the first time I fired it up with the hood up
06:02 PM JT-Shop: so I'm pretty happy with the Holley
06:03 PM Tom_L: is it a solid fan or a slip clutch fan?
06:04 PM JT-Shop: it has a thermal clutch
06:04 PM Tom_L: i don't remember when they started using those
06:04 PM Tom_L: silicon filled
06:04 PM JT-Shop: no clue
06:04 PM Tom_L: i think
06:04 PM Tom_L: i've had em apart
06:05 PM Tom_L: silicone based oil
