Subject: Home made cab mounts

Hello All,
It looks like the cab mounts on my 59 ranchero expired about 20 yrs. ago,
and as usual I can find the mounts for every year but mine. Cab mounts dont
look like rocket parts to me and I was wondering if anyone has any
experience rolling their own i.e. tips, types of rubber etc. I was thinking
of getting some rubber rod and slicing it and drilling out the middle, but
would like some input from the masters.
Slowly moving ahead,
Antonio
59 Ranchero

Thanks, but first things first. First, is there anything that needs to
be done to put a 460 into a truck that has a 302? That is the main
thing. If nothing else, my friend want the engine in and running,
regardless of which trans.

Will a 460 drop right in?

Also, I found one 4-speed for $350. Is that a good price?

Harry.

Try Energy Suspension, and you're right, they aren't rocket parts. Often
times just big donut-like washers so as long as they're all identical, the
cab will sit flat. That's how they do body lifts on 4x4s.

Subject: Re: oil pressure was

That's exactly what you should expect. Oil is much thicker when it is
cold (and doesn't lubricate as well). Thus, the oil pressure is much
higher until the oil warms up and becomes less viscous, and then the oil
pressure drops. When you rev the engine, the oil pump spins faster and oil
pressure rises accordingly.
Multi-weight oil exists for this purpose. Let's take 10W-30. The oil
acts like a light 10-weight oil when it's cool so that it can adequately
lubricate your engine during warmup. Once the engine warms up, however,
it's going to need something a little heavier than 10-weight to keep it
from self-destructing. Once the oil hits a certain temperature, it begins
to act like 30-weight. A miracle of modern chemistry. And quite helpful
for those in colder climates.

Ok...Here's a question on oil pressure. At a cold idle...I have about
60lbs. (new 460) As it warms up...I drop to about 30lbs at idle.
when I increase rpms to around 2000, it jumps back up to around 55lbs.
Is this a normal range of pressure ??
