I was unaware that little hole in between the runners for 3 and 4 was for the brakes. I popped the bind plug out and used that port. I suppose I will correct that or just vacumm plug that port.

dlmrun2002,  what are those engine mounts made from? where did you get them?

I think Ireland Engineering... Poly's.. Will see if I like them.. Might be to much vibration... Can be found anywhere  really... She should go in this weekend.  Need to customize spark plug wire harness to hold Magnecor  8.5MM. Little tight on the in and out points.

Hey DLM, Can you do a quick measure up of the mounts and let me know what size they are (height and dia). Also are the studs top and bottom in the same plane or is one offset compaired to the other.

I am tryig to find some locally (in Australia) and no one can tell me what the proper size of our engine mounts are. Mine have collapsed big time.

Thanks

Stock mounts  have the little  nob on bottom to align. I think top stud is close to center... Maybe a little offset.  My polys don't have a bottom nob for alignment and the top stud is definetely  offset.  MAybe an inch tops. Come to think of it. I think I got my polys on  ebay. Here is a link.. ebay USA  of course..
Hope that helps..
