Under the hood?
#16
I had a new custom motor mount system made that is very stout. there's NO movement on the Engine that doesn't involve the frame. So it I floor it (which is a little scary and after the first time I haven't done it since) or get on the gas, the cab moves with the frame and engine.
Here's the mounts I had made - STOUT!

Almost in the rolling chassis...
Hi Folks,
I don't have this one in the truck yet... As a matter of fact, I don't have the truck together yet but I do have lots of it done. My '53 will be a '53 in appearance only as it is going to be a '53 cab and bed sitting on a modified Explorer 4WD chassis with a T-Bird SC IRS. The engine is a '90 Super Coupe engine coupled to an M5R2 tranny and manual transfer case from an '88 F-150. I will be sitting the engine in the rolling chassis in a week or so and I will try to get some pictures of that stage and post them here in this thread. Below is a video of the engine and one of the car I harvested it from doing a burn out.

As the camera zooms out you can see why I am not saving the car.

Not bad for an engine that sat in impound for two years and has two year old gasoline running in it.
