all mounts are lined up right, i mean as far as i know everything gos together right and everything works right.
yes it is a swapped colt.
i am running stock turbo on stock boost the only aftermarket part i have is cams.
as far as bolts the small one for the rear is from discount auto (i just bought it to replace the last one that snapped), dont know what grade or metal.and the top 2 are what i believe are OEM, ummm the front one is a bolt and nut (because the block is stripped out so i just ran a long bolt with a nut on the end, and then the starter bolts are just OEM ones from discount.
i was talking with a friend and we think maybe the plate/spacer that gos between the block and tranny is maybe warped and not allowing it to sit flush or something. the one that i have in the car is a FWD modified to fit an AWD tranny (or the other way around).
i guess i am going to go ahead and pull the tranny in the morning and go get some grade 8 bolts and try that.
but we just don't understand why it dose this we have a guy that is making way more power then i ever have in a awd car beating the shit out of the tranny with solid motor mounts and has never had a problem like this before. and i have never had this problem before with any other motor that i have had in my car when i was making more power.
