Hey Mike.
70es and 50es sounds like fall is approaching.
I have a slant 6 motor mount i never used, I bought it 14 years ago I bet, maybe it is a thick one .

Are you talking early A or 67 to 72?
I've got a picture of the two side by side somewhere in this box... but it was a pretty substantial difference. It probably would not have mattered in a stock setup though.
Early. 64
Isn't the /6 mount the same 63 up threw 71 ?
Morning FABO shoppers!
Absolutley not. 63 to 66 and then 67 to 72 are way different and then 73 to 76 are the spool mount type.
Hey Hop
Good Morning everyone
I had the same problem with my 63 wagon so ended up making my own solid steel mounts. With the way the throttle linkage is on the long runner intake, I couldn't have a lot of engine movement so the steel mounts did the trick keeping it in place.
What about engine vibration?
Not bad. A lot less than I expected but more than a newer car
Nice intake, looking forward to seeing it all hooked up and running
I’m more wondering if the hubs or maybe just the spindles are now worn out of from the KPI being off and that’s what’s thrashing the bearings? I just know when I was looking at build a T bucket using that same year axle, there were loads of reports of both KPI and Ackerman causing hubs to fail with certain kits. I’m a little curious too if the 37 spindles aren’t up to the task of the speeds and heat of modern traveling speeds.
you might go over to the H.A.M.B and post this there. Those guys are a HUGE source of knowledge similar to here but mostly focused on beam front axle cars
Man another hot humid day. I have a bunch of DP cases to paint for custom race curves and cannot do it because it is way to humid! Hate to turn the hops dryer into a paint drier!
Have to be installed by Sat in British Columbia.
Did you see this? ( you non back reader)
@halifaxhops that guy with the diagnostic machine who wouldn't sell it to me because I didn't have anything in my FB profile? He messaged me to see if I was still interested
Dang. That's some distance
Yes I read it actually. For the money worth a chance if it is the one I am thinking of.
Rain all around, soon to hit here on the hill in about 20 minutes, Rain chances all day long. Humidity is terrible and very high, paint will indeed blush if painting today Hoppy
