message me, and i can show you what you need. I have a 69 Talladega, with the set up. I had to source some parts, and had to make some.

I have a Talladega, trying to replace a leaky oil pan gasket. I know the engine has to be raised a few inches. I removed the 8 bolts holding the two side motor mounts to the frame. I also removed the big nut in the middle of each. Engine doesn’t move. What am I missing?

Did you remove the motor mounts completely?

If so, you will probably need to take the transmission mount loose. Make sure nothing on the top is in the way. Make sure the fan blade is not hitting the shroud. The oil filter is real close to the sway bar.

The exhaust, depending on what kind you have, can hold the engine also. Be careful not to bend the transmission linkage.
