Thank you guys.

I`ve never lost a 3.8 due to engine failure. the 3.8 block need work in the oil department area. I find the 3800 and series`s of motor use a gen-rotor oil pump. which will maintain hi oil pressure (30+psi) even when the motor is warmed up and heavy city driving is required.

I have finalize all the custom motor mounts. Using mustang rear trail arm (poly busing).I picked four trail arm from a swap meet for $80.00

I then modified the poly bushing trail arm to work has a tight mounting.

this is a FWD application.



Rear right-side engine mount.


Rear left-side trans mount.


Front Left-side trans mount.


Front Right-side engine mount. this mount is located under the A/C compressor, and retain the factory (OEM) bracket.



The is the factory (OEM) oil filter housing next to the axle hub. Once the axle is install , You will run into clearance issue.


Here is the modified Oil filter hosing away mounted away from the axle/hub. This housing now have a lot of clearance with a ac-Delco PF-52 (long for more filtration) filter.
