Does anyone know where I might be able to get a front saddle mount for a SBC like were used in 32-48 ford adaptions. I tried a bunch of different venders but it don't look like anybody makes them any more. Thanks Lanny
Speedway doesn't have the one I want. They have aluminum ones that have a tendency to sag. I need a 1 piece mount. Thanks Lanny
Speedway still lists the steel one. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/1955-1994-Small-Block-Chevy-Engine-Mount,6725.html
Here is what they say about the specs of this mount, Overall Length22.000" Overall Width3.125" (3 1/8") Overall Height7.625" (7 5/8") Overall Thickness0.180" Centerline of Holes20.000" Material TypeSteel FinishZinc Sold in Quan***yEach NotesThis mount will work with an 8" balancer, balancer clears the mount by approx. .25."
I have had good luck finding original hurst mounts right here on the HAMB. I have an NOS now that I bought here cheap. Or you could get a chinese one from Speedway if you prefer a communist mount.
Heck it is easy enough to make one, I did when I put a SBC into a 51 Merc back in '80.... But the Speedway price does seem reasonable.....
Thanks Craky that the one I need. I have a new Speedway catalog + it's not in the catalog I have Lanny
No problem ! I got mine for my 29 A from speedway back in the 80's & it seems well built. I built one back in 1971 for my 25 T , & it was real easy to build.
