Installation Notes:
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOTOR MOUNTS.
The advantages of these mounts include: | |
· Bolt-on application, no welding. | |
· Locates engine forward 3/4" in order to clear some intake systems and H.E.I. (big cap) distributor. | |
· Permits late model engine (with side mounts) upgrades. |
1. | Remove the original engine and transmission (including stock motor mounts) from car. |
2. | Grind off the rivet head in the rear side of the crossmember marked existing rivet holes on the drawing. |
3. | Punch rivet body through the crossmember, leaving a hole and drill it to 3/8". |
4. | Bolt-on Total Cost Involved motor mount into the crossmember, with the bolt supplied, in the rivet holes. Tighten bolts and do not drill any holes at this time. |
5. | Due to inconsistency in the original frame and front crossmember, a slight fitting to these motor mounts should be made as follows: |
· Measure the center of the tubes in the motor mounts from passenger to driver side, it should be 1 6 1/2", and the tubes should be parallel to each other. | |
· If they are not parallel, adjust the motor mount slightly to fit. | |
6. | Drill 3/8" holes on top of the crossmember (holes #A), using the holes on the front side of the motor mount as a template. |
7. | Install bolts on these holes and tighten. |
8. | Double check alignment and measurement and install engine using a new rubber mount (Total Cost Involved #6650). |
9. | A new transmission mount should be installed (available from Total Cost Involved). |
