Picked up a set of poly-loc mounts to help keep the motor in the correct location.
My mounts are kinda new, 4-5 years old, but those huge thick rubber isolators start to sag sooner or later.

ok -
The poly-loc mounts wont work
( the factory rubber isolators are 1.5" thick ( same as the poly's ) but the rubber compresses about 1/4" with the engine on them)
The extra 1/4" is too high up fr anything to work ( I have to swap centerlinks and cut the fan shroud now to make it work. Before I had them raised with shims to clear the /6 centerlink.
****Could you shorten the bracket....I know it's on an angle, but 1/4" wouldn't take much to make up....??????
There is no stock starter that works for these headers
One company makes one - and it's clockable 360 degrees... pretty cool, but i found out that it hits the block and will not go in straight.
*****I've heard of others using the R/MC with no issues...?????
It hits here:
*****GRINDER TIME
Got the X member cut, but i still gotta find thick enough sheetmetal to put back on its place.
*****Nice Work...!!!!!!
These ****'s better make some power!!
*****Bet they are your best bet.....looking forward to your results...!!!!! :toothy7:
when you dyno tuning?
Dave, I'm confused. (that doesn't say much)
If the polylocs have the engine sitting 1/4 taller, shouldn't that help with the centerlink clearance with the pan? Or are you saying the higher position makes the header hit somewhere?
The starter fitment is disturbing. TTI says a stock starter will fit (I believe). You are saying the T-bars won't go into the sockets? is that because you can't "thread the needle" through the pipes?
I'm going to run coil overs on the 65, so I think the poly loc wont' be a problem for us.
If you need some metal, Ive got some pieces at the shop that you can use. If you need it welded up, I can do that for you next week. Let me know, give me a call on my cell.
Also: whatever parts you dont' use (polylocs or spitfires) let me know, OK? Mike
Dave. Look into changing you tranny tail shaft angle. You can gain some clearance here. That's what I did but I had the tremec. Try some washers/shims under the tranny mount. Just a thought for ya.
