Funny too all 4 of the exhaust flange bolts looked super. Heated up the manifold anyway as per standard procedure and the things would not come out. I buzzed thru 3 of them with a torch but the driver side top one I can't see. Going to have to remove plastic from fender well I believe.

I swear the 302 was easier to manipulate than this 4.0.

It had something else I had not seen, like a little shock absorber on a bracket on the front of the motor driver side. Other side of shock attached to frame. Is that to stabilize some sort of motor twist against the mounts? Seems like the mounts would be sufficient. I'll look at my 00 today and see if they exist on that one.
