motor mount location

[pmfranke]

greensnake how far back is the angle part of motor mount mounted? is it in line with the angle on the frame ,1/2 " back 1 " or what?

[Slow Dawg]

From the front of the round tube on the steel mounts to the rear of the K-member is 14 1/2" for both sides.

btw-Greensnakes sidepipes don't go down the sides of his car, he's got them going straight up like the Dodge Lil' Red Wagon Peecup.

thanks, ron . does greensnakes pipes go up six feet?

Does the motor mount location depend on the motor (i.e. big block or small block)? You can probably tell I've never put a car together )

Greenies pipes do stand 6 feet up. He used to have them pointed forward and used them as curb feelers. He had to do something considering he can't see over the steering wheel.

boris, the mounts are all about, I think, within a half inch of each other. The main difference is the big block tubes are about 1 inch longer than the small blocks.

from what ive read to achieve close to 50 / 50 weight distribution we would have to mount the engine as far forward as possible .any body else read this ?

Hey Franky! Dawg! Right on the DEM. of the motor mounts. But ya know Frank. Dawg cooks them greasy possums in them side pipes LOL.

[pmfranke]

does possum grease make his side pipes shine?Greensnake ; did those spf headers you had,bolt up to the b and b side pipes and clear the driver side foot box? i got band b large dia. square port headers and they are really bad,dented so the bolts will fit,off center, holes in em,ect. Looking for a solution.

[GREENSNAKE]

The SPF are too short. Hmm sounds like Dawg was using them as a spatula to flip them possums. I would try to use some allen bolts will they work better?

[pmfranke]

there just is'nt enough room even with the allen heads so sombody took a hammer to them. thats how i got em from bandb. they were custom made.
