Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

Jerel put it all in the car for me, but without the stock bell, it won't help. I'm just gonna move it, all good

 

Ain't you got something you should be doing??

 

Your idea would have been more helpful YESTERDAY!!! LMAO!

 

I just ordered a front mount kit. See how it goes

 

Jerel doesn't have the old mounts?

 

The studs were still in the crossmember, I threw them in the trash the other day. I assume the other pieces are still bolted to his motor

 

I got a few old stock mounts you can have
I’ll send em if you need em
I bought some aftermarket mounts for the wife’s 56. Didn’t have any factory mounts at the time.
Engine looked too low. I bought a pile of parts that came with about 3 or 4 sets of OE V8 mounts. Used a set on the 56 and the engine was around 3/8th to low. Made a spacer and the PS pump and mechanical pump will clear the x-member now.

 

More cowbell, I gotta have more cowbell!!

 

Motor looks awful small in there. I should have traded you my dual 4 Tunnel Ram intake so you could cut a hole in the Hood, for those seats.

 

Already ordered them, supposed to be here today. But I appreciate it!

 

Anthony, if you're coming next week, I could use a set of stock mounts.

 

I just need the entire assembly the stock mounts go into.

 

Need mounts?
I got a couple tri5 set ups

 

Anthony, I meant I need the entire car for the mounts to go in. I’m sorry, it was a poor attempt at humor. I’ll just stick to fixing trucks.

 

Well, just build the rest around the mounts.

I’ve got 3 32 ford hood latches.
That’s a start

 

Wimp, heard of guys who just started with a radiator cap.
And you think you’re a fabricator

 

Excellent point!! Everyone has to start somewhere!

 

$50 and overnight. Man it's hard to believe how things used to be.

 

For those of us wondering. What inside? I can’t tell

 

Those are tri 5 engine mounts

 

The idea is to use the stockers to locate the block. Then install your side mounts. But if the front mounts aren't in the way, you might as well leave 'em in place.

 

I don't believe they'll work with my 8" balancer, I'm not sure, but I've read it. We'll see.

 

^^^^^ Hack saw. No joke.

 

As this pic show’s, the interference isn’t great. My brother in law notched his like 40 years ago. If you do it creatively, the inner gusset remains but smaller and mount won’t look hacked up.

 

That's exactly what I did when I was 18 and swapped the 265 for a 350 in this

 

We just notched them

 

OK it's in the proper location now. Doesn't look like a lower radiator hose is possible with the front mounts. Gotta cut, grind, bitch, cry, weld and I'll be back in business

 

Oops

 

Lloyd's just going to have to hold his feet off the road when he drives it!
