I agree, Dave. As much as I love doing this stuff, sometimes you just need a break. Now that we are back on it again it is more fun. It has "slightly" been a few degrees cooler the past couple of weeks, due to the all day rains we have been getting at times, so that helps make it more fun too.

I'm so used to side mid engine Ford mounts, that these front mounting systems throw me for a loop! I have to say if my mounts were in front, I would be happy right now, but alas my driver's side header is not clearing the motor mount/ steering box space, thus the long pause while I figure out which direction to go now!

Steve, I wish Olds had used conventional side mounts prior to 1965, when they finally went to them. Their setup as always the reverse of what everyone else was doing, they put one mount in the front, middle of the motor, and two back on the bellhousing. Hurst made mounts like the one Steve in UK posted, but they only fit something like 1949-62, then Olds went to the aluminum timing cover and Hurst mounts didn't fit.

It will be somewhat of a long distance between the new front mounts and the tailshaft mount on the TH350, but it is what it is, and I will just have to live with it.
