Thanks again for the photos.

Dunno if that's right Paul, If your engine sits between the rails and lower than the top of the rails then there is no need to cut the alloy mounts.

The only reason for cutting was because my engine sits level with the top of the inner chassis rail.

So Rebel it seems like having that "aluminium hunk" L76 is bugging you. Why not sell it to Merv and put your lovely light cast iron weapon back in. Seems then both of you would be happy.

Nuh...can't Bruce, some bugga cut the ford mounts off my chassis and welded mounts on for the L76, and I ain't cuttin them off.

Besides, where else in Aussie land will you find an L76 with a TK600 FORD tremec 5 speed in a cobra.

All the other fellas have done it the easy way and used the T56.

I hear Merv is clever. He can get somone to fix your mounts and I know that motor gearbox combo will go great in his car.
I actually think you like the L76 better than the Windsor but just dont want to admit it. Come on Rebel fes up.

Nope Bruce, It's bluddy Qld.Transport who I'm cranky at....not the L76.

Given that I was a dyed in the wool ford freak, and having been told the Windsors were out, I then looked seriously at the 4.6 and 5.4 ford monstors.

Following a $hitload of measuring and re-measuring to see if the monstors would fit, I was forced.....note I said forced.....to invest in that lump of aluminium. Seems now unnecessarily so.

Now, having been forced to invest in this lump, I then had to go on a crash course of findin out all about the lump of alloy.

Now the lump didn't cost all that much.....prolly about my average annual cost of purchasing the amber fluid, but it was all that learning that I can't throw away.

What would I do with all that new found knowledge if I was to dispose of the alloy lump?.

Shush Cameron.

I don't feel pressured at all......I've covered my bases. I've got a chev engine, a holden rack, ford gearbox, jag diff., and mitsubishi steering.
