You know, I'm suspecting that somebody forgot to put one of the bolts in where the motor mount sits on the frame bracket. That would allow the engine to rock about, creating that "clunking" noise when it attempted to settle down, as well as allowing the engine and transmission/pan to sit cockeyed the way it is in the photo.
Shoddy work, that's for sure, and after all the grief Tin Man has gone through on this project, I'd bet he's wishing he'd never started now!
That's OK, though...we all get there from now to then on these things, don't we? I know I wished I'd never bought mine for those 20 months it sat on jack-stands as I searched futilely for bushings for the rear suspension. That all ended, though, as soon as I got it roadworthy.
