Re: Two inline six engine brackets

["Mark Price" <mprice@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So, I have a set of the forward mount brackets here. Good to know if I ever need them!
I fit the 4.0L in the American with the 69 brackets. It's tight but I like the engine as far back as possible. Still one day it may come in handy to know this info!

My guess is the engine forward brackets appeared with the 1/4" higher deck height engines (71+). Could be the TF trans though (72+). Isn't your car a 1970? There are fewer 70s than other years, might be why no one else has noticed the difference.
