Lucky find on the Hurst. A friend did the T-86 on his 56 Victoria. There was some problem with the mount at the time. Not sure if he was waiting for a new one or if cash flow. The temporary fix was to wrap a length of chain around transmission and crossmember and bolt the ends together to try it out. TMI but it was the fastest accelerating car I've every rode in. It had 3.89? gears and a FE 427. 49 years later I still have the engine.
