351 Ford mounts

[Mick120]

Just knocked up some tough engine mounts for a mates 351 Ford.
He keeps breaking them so, these should get the job done....copied another design I'd seen on the www.

Yup, seems to me those should hold! Nice work!

Nice neat job Mick!!!:drinkup:

[jim cafarelli]

Excellent job

[dhem]

Nice design. I assume those are poly bushings? What are they from/where did you get them? Might have to copy this idea when it comes engine swap time.

Nice mounts, I guess next he will have frame problems.

Yup, poly suspension bushings, aftermarket for Nissan but you could use almost any decent bush.
I fluked getting the right diameter but, they're a tight fit in the tube and come with a bush.
All the design work is done in my plasma program (Design Edge) and, parts CNC plasma cut.
These are the second lot I've done, I did some others for a small block Chev, using the same principal altho, I can't take the credit for the design.
They're just a LOT better than bonded rubber.

Look good! I believe they will hold...:D

Similar to these I did for a LS series Chevy engine in a Art Morrison Max-G Chassis for a this '69 Camaro I'm working on.....

Great work mick. Do you have any other pics of the car. Just curious to see what the 351w is going in.

Nice job Mick!!

[Mick120]

Hmmmmm.....wasn't paying enough attention, thought the Ford mounts were similar to the Chev, R & L.

WRONG!!!!!

All you Ford guys will know what I mean......anyways, problem solved, new ones made, both the friggin same instead of mirror image as shown........:o
Also cut the block mount holes oval, makes lining up a breeze, especially on older vehicles that may or may not be true.

More mounts, this time for Holden Torana, 308 Aussie V8.
Pics of the mounts being trial fitted, the Torana, plus, the Ford mounts in place.
Not me, not my shop.
Entertainment value only.......:rolleyes:

do you happen to wear a 4xl glove? For some reason that engine looks way too small
