I'm sure there are loads of other items to be sorted (driveshaft length, clutch setup, throttle linkage, etc.) but unlike the motor mounts those could all be dealt with by the owner.
I don't have a horse in the race, since I'm going to be busy with my wonderful slabside currently being crafted in New Britain  . Just wondering.

No offense to the seller, but "that" car is not worth the 49K asking price with a sedate, generic small block under the hood
