I was thinking about that. Something we used to do back in 1970 was power braking if you had an automatic. When I did that with my dads 69 Impala that is when I found out about the bad motor mounts. Car took off on me and it was a be-otch to stop. Lucky for me I was in big parking lot. I noticed in the engine pic this car has the retaining cables on both driver and passenger sides. I have a spare set of locking mounts I keep for my Z and might just use them and store the originals away.
