.....Well Solid Mounts it is. Mainly because of a lack of space issue. Lots of room on the passenger side but the steering box is right under the motor mount on the drivers side. I will post some pic's but I seriously doubt that there is room for anything but solid motor mounts. I re-worked the pre made hemi motor mounts that I had to get them to work on the drivers side And I used a Suspension Engineering Urethan mount for the transmission...... BUT someone told me that with solid mounts you will break the mounting points off of your block? I hope their wrong because 392 blocks don't grow on trees!!! Bill

Mine has solid mounts.. It's a 440 with elephant ears.. I never do any long trips either..Solid mounts do add rigidity to the chassis, for what it's worth.

I have built my "A" with solid mounts. Also open wheels and no hood, if I want. It is like a celebration of all things mechanical. I want to see the tires, suspension, steering and pulleys, feel the engine, shift the gears, all of it. Might change after a bit but that remains to be seen.

Thanks Daffy & Willowbilly, then I'll be ok, I just don't want to ruin my block. The block was the main thing that made my decission to go with Big Al's motor! 392 blocks are hard to find!!! The shack, rattle & roll won't bother me!!! I love that!!! Bill

If you are worried about the block, make some sort of mid mounts too. Like come off a couple of the bell housing bots on each side. That was my original plan when I had a 429, front, center and rear solid mounts. Kinda like a Vincent bike, the engine acts like part of the frame. I have no crossmember between the front one where the spring mounts and the one under the tranny.

....Good idea Willowbilly! I'm going to go out to garage & see how that would work! Thank You! Bill

The ol' motor plate mid plate would fix it. (You'd need to redo the converter spacing to the flex plate).

That's true. I went down to the salvage yard & picked up 3/4" aluminum plate for the "Z". They had a 4'x10' sheet & said I could have however much I wanted but, they said they had no way to cut it. I used a carbide blade in a skil saw, str8 edge & a couple clamps a lopped off a chunk O' aluminum in no time."PLAN" your life like you will live to 120.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
