so i was driving down the road about 35mph and all of the sudden heard a clunk clunk and started to lose power so i gave it a little more gas and then nothing went dead... seeing how it was 3am i couldnt see anything so i walked home came back when the sun came up and towed it home upon further investigation i noticed the engine and transmission moved forward and to the passenger side the fan is pretty much in the radiator. cant work on it my dad is occupying the garage with his truck. if any one could point me in the right direction so i can get this pig back on the road much appreciated

Sounds like failed engine mount(s) to me....

x2 on the motor mount

unbelievably this has happened twice to me, although I have never lost power or had it die on me, maybe because i have a manual tranny?

Anyways, both times the mount bolts sheared off at the engine block and I had to get the bolts extracted and replaced by a shop. Good Luck.

im starting to think the "clunk clunk" was the timing jumping

i knew it was mounts when you said it moved

Unlikely - we have a chain vs a belt. It doesn't "jump" like a belt might - it's either there or it's not.

af_wheelin_oh

does any one happen to why it wont turn over

may have dislodged some wires or the starter

oh ****...is that coming my way?

Is the fan still stuck in the radiator? That might prevent it from turning over...

solve one problem first, then see if your other problems still exist.

finally got it in the garage sheared all 3 motor mount bolts the go into the block did a little research and it seems to be a very common problem so every one CHECK YOUR BOLTS when the bolts snapped it busted the distributor and cap all to hell and back alot of money and time now so again check your bolts
