Don't know about the DRB but, the Kenmer uses BA mounts which are cut down to keep the engine low in the chasis.

cheers doug but i can only see that the rubber can be reduced in height,,what is the height of the ba mount from where it faces side of block top holes to mount chassis hole cheers darrell

I'll see if I can remember to ask Peter Ransom(DRB) which engine mounts to use at the club meeting tomorrow.

The reference to xy/xw mounts is good for Windsor blocks but I'm assuming the Boss motors have different attachments. The xy mounts worked a treat in my case, if they do fit your motor, they are worth a go. Cheers |
Sorry Darrell, Peter Ransom wasn't at the Club Meeting today so couldn't ask about engine mounts. He was out at Queensland Raceway getting the new DRB race car sorted. It was door-to-door racing...well I suppose what better way to do it. Neither was Gary(also of DRB), I expect he was also at QR.
