PLEASE keep it all Pontiac!!! The world has enough SBC's :) By the way there are waaaaay easier and time tested ways of mounting an engine in your...
Interesting, I will stab that engine back in this week some time and test it out. If it turns out to be a problem I will keep the mounts but they...
Interesting. .. I have to expand the center opening of my X frame because my yoke is sitting just back of center. I'm thinking I might have to...
I didn't think about the exhaust. You haven't seen any frame deformation because of the lack of that crossmember? I am building a mount for the...
I was just thinking, I still have to re mount the cross member that held the original bellhousing engine mounts. I can very easily re work some...
Oh i don't consider any advise "nitpicking" I am far from an expert! I tried to pick my parts for strength and according to all the load ratings...
Oh I see. No the rods are sitting at 45 degree angle in the engine bay so in order for the engine to rotate the rods would have to grow on one...
Are you saying the rods are not strong enough to hold the weight of the engine? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
The rods won't be able to move once the jam nuts are all tightened down. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I love that wagon! Your right the solid mounts will transfer all the motion to the frame but that's what I like. I love rocking the whole car with...
[ATTACH] I ordered some swedged radius rod tubes, to replace my temporary tie rod tubes. Next thing its to pop the engine and trans back in the...
The bottom mounts are welded in and now I just have to spend some quality time with the grinder to clean them up. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Thanks for the advise, I had to shift the engine around a bit but I was able to keep the 5 degree tilt back and the trans tail shaft looks to be...
After I got the engine to sit where I wanted it I welded up the passenger side engine plate and then used some tie rod tubes to position the...
I had raise the engine up a little so that the ram air exhaust manifold on the drivers side would clear the steering gear box. This caused a...
Ok so I finished up the front motor mounts so now I just need to finish the trans mount and its off to paint. Here I am just mocking up where they...
I love those Safaris, I will get one when the kids are all gone and its just me and the wife!
No, as far as I can tell the two aren't compatible. I picked up a new TH400 to compliment the 400 and my power goals. I am still trying to figure...
Anything but a Pontiac in a Pontiac is sacrilege.. and he let me come up with it on my own.... such a good boy!
Well that has been the most current hold up for me as well but I think I got it all figured out. I took some quarter inch flat stock and made some...
After about 2 or 3 months of looking I found a worn out 400 out of a 74 Firebird. After a trip to the local machine shop (and enough money to...
No way man, I was there... beer in hand telling him he was doing it all wrong! :)
Now the question of the hour, save the 316 and dual range hydro or scrap them for a better combo[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Its kind of hard to tell in...
With that old 316 out of the way I started the hand sanding[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
After I sprayed a nice thick coat of primer/surfacer it was time to remove the boat anchor and prep the firewall.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
After stripping out all the interior and inspecting the whole car the only rust issues were the floor pans (which I already knew) and a spot on...
Well I guess since everyone has one, this will be mine. I bought this beauty about a year ago. Fairly unmolested, mostly rust free and cheap!...
