Mike, yes Don did try to simple up the problem when one Ford mount became unavailable, but using Energy Suspension mounts they give you the correct left and right mounts which will not fit Dons frame mounts. You can simply re-drill the frame mount but you have to be carefull on some of these. When that is done and you bolt everything up the actual motor mount is more than half NOT supported. A lttle nights sleep with this old gray cell finally came up with the easiest solution for my problem, cut the gusset out, cut the top angeled mounting plate off from the bottom, turn the top plate over, drill a new hole for the alignment button on the engine mount, re-aling everything back up and re-weld the gussett back in place. Powder coat and bolt in. Just another little glitch to deal with!

Now the only thing that may be a problem is the MARCH alternator bracket.; May have to exchange for a shorter one? We'll see.

Hopefuly this will cheer cpt eddie up a little......


IN front: Gas Fliter, next oil filter, next Cpteddies custom powder coated candy apple red over flow bottle- All hose/fittings to be put in today. (These are all mounted to the custom front bracket I make to fit behind the fan-in front of the motor.)
