" That's with the motor mounts dropped into the stock location on a " six-cylinder front crossmember. There are two sets of motor-mount " brackets for the six, that position the mounts forward or " backwards; I used the right set (I have both).
more info please! this is the first i've heard of these - both short style for small cars i presume? what years/models for each of the two styles?
I thought it was common knowledge! There's something I know you don't? Shocking.
Tomorrow I'm working on cars -- so I'll dig out the brackets and photo and measure. Basically both bolt to the three bosses on the bl;ock vertical; the pad that the motor mounts bolt two, with two bolts, is shifted front or rear, depending. Handy to have both sets!
" So there is some substantial difference at the back of the block " between 1970 and 1983.
you must mean besides the obvious flywheel/starter/bolt pattern changes.
Yes, but 70 vs. 72, say, it appears that the fly/bell/starter is the only major change; so I lumped those together in my above brief remark.
* 1963 classic has a 1970 232 + BW * 1972 hornet has a 1970 232 + BW * 1970 hornet has a 1983 258 +A904
(The 72 has the 70s engine in it; Ran Akerman did that out of expedient necessity.)
