Motor Mounts

Here is a tip for all you w/ sagged out motor
mounts. I bought some older style mounts for a 60s
chevrolet. The "pancake" style. I then took apart my sagged
out oil soaked mounts. the part that bolts to the
frame of the car was saved, the rest tossed. I then
took this U shaped piece and then hacked out the
middle. Leaving 2 legs per side. I flattened out the
bends @ the top of these legs then drilled holes for
7/16" bolts to go thru. I then bolted these legs to the
pancake style mounts and compaire to the other side
mount(I only did 1 side @ a time) it was appx 1/4-3/8"
higher. I just bolted these mounts in place when I
installed my engine. I am very pleased. the sit at a good
height and the steering does't even come close to the
oil pan. the prevoius owner achieved the same thing
by putting shims under the mounts @ the frame. Sorry
I haven't any pictures of this. I couldn't post
them anyway, no scanner. I would be happy to draw a
diagram of this prociedure for anyone interested. The
mounts ran appx $20 apiece when I bought them. It took
me appx 1 hour for each mount.(measure twice, cut
once)
Just thought this option should be posted!
