The only important thing in setting up your motor mounts for a chrome car is
to have the rack fall just forward of the leading edge of the oil pan, and
as have the engine as low as possible. My '67 has a 2 inch setback from the
factory position. The rack nestles between the pan edge and the balancer.
I use a uncut alloy hood and no bulges. Note that the stock 4's crank is
parallel to the centerline of the car whereas GM tilts the engine 7 degrees
down in the rear. The GM intake tilts the carb forward to match the hood slope.
Mounts are not difficult to build, but anyone who has built more than 1
MGB-V8 will tell you that there are no 2 cars alike. Makes dimensional
drawings a wasted effort in most cases. With the photo of the mount and a
good fabricator doing the work it is easy.
Fire up that torch!!!
