Today i put the car up and had a look underneath. so far it looks like there isn't anything wrong with the rear mounts and mustache, its probably a hotspotted flywheel or something that's making it chatter like hell going into first. Probably a product of all that extra space left open by the stock bushings that lets it clunk so loudly.

Other than that, my dad and i had a look at the fuel diaphragm on the front of the motor, which was caked with all kinds of residual junk. Cleaned that out and put it back on. The upper radiator hose inflates when the car is on, so i ordered a new upper and lower. One spot that i found that is seeping coolant is the water neck which, like the diaphragm, was gooped (rtved) on. It still runs so so, its tough to figure out since there seems to be a number of problems. I think the fuel pump in back is not working too well. For the oil pan, i ordered a new seal and picked up some screws (was missing some). The oil is black as hell.

I'm thinking of compression testing before going further.
