Front Engine Support
I would like some experience feedback and pictures of the Float-O-Motor Front Engine Support installed in a Model "A." Can this support be installed without removing the radiator?

Re: Front Engine Support
I use that front mount on both of my banger powered cars. The rear mount is oem.
‘30 Coupe, ‘31 Tudor IMO, they work great. Yes, they can be installed with the radiator installed, but might require a 90 degree drill for the drivers side. I also use nyloc nuts instead of castellated, just my preference. Ken |

Re: Front Engine Support
Thanks Ken. I am going to install this mount in my 190A and 45B over the coming winter.

Re: Front Engine Support
Bob, I have the same one but I installed it when I had the engine out.
You will have to drill holes in the xmember for it to fit, that might be a real challenge with the radiator installed. |

Re: Front Engine Support
They work great.I pulled the radiator and jacked up the engine a bit to get it in. |

Re: Front Engine Support
Is there any benefit to using the front FAMs compared to OEM?

Re: Front Engine Support
.
? Less moving parts? Drilling more holes in the cross member is a negative IMO

Re: Front Engine Support
Yes, IMO if you are using rear floatamotor mounts. It helps provide the support lost when the box style mounts were removed.
