Re: Modifying Butch's SBF to 54-58 Ford Engine Mounts
Just like this... Still have to finish the top and bottom of lower half by replacing cut out sections. Probably will cut off the bottom inch of the triangle section parallel with the top of it and weld a piece in there.
And cut down the top plate because it extends far past the insulator now. May leave some of the excess to shield the insulator from the manifold though.
Engine is sitting on it now and height is right, but it is only tacked together in 3 spots. Moved the insulator location inboard 4/5"and slid the cut upper section of the bottom piece down double that at 1 3/5".
So far, so good. Even though I measured it, I basically moved the insulator toward the block as far as possible with it still having a 1/4" of clearance. I figured if I overshot the drop a little, it would be easier to add shims than cut and weld again.
