340 Engine Mounts
Well HELL..I posted pictures..let's see YOURS! I see pictures of Goober and Saddam, and a lot of "just saying" , but I'm not seeing any images of original 67-72 A body 318 mounts with the ear attached. And since I've been doing engine swaps and disassembling them since 1974 and haven't seen one myself "never" is a pretty fair statement to make.
My avatar is a picture of ME. My screenname is my name. So I'm putting my NAME on this post.
I don't post much here because of crap like this, but Darc asked for info and was given an answer that I know for a fact from 35 years of personal experience to be wrong. The trouble with the internet is that, no matter what statement of fact you post, someone somewhere has done it differently, made it work, seen something else and is sure that they are right.
It's been said that, with a little engineering, you could put a saddle on a COW! You could modify the straps, trim the leather, work the shape, and (with a lot of training) you might even be able to RIDE the cow! But it's still a cow with a saddle on it. It just ain't right. Don't show up at my rodeo riding your cow with a homemade saddle and try to tell me it's a thoroughbred and that I just don't know horses!
Darc, simply look at my pictures and your mount. If you left mount looks like the one I posted, it will NOT work on a 340. If it is an B/E body mount (also pictured above) you will have issues making it work. If it is the 340 A body mount I've pictured above, it will work. you don't need to pay extra for Schumacher mounts (although they are very good).
Other than that, I am done with this thread. believe what you want from whom you like.
I'm breaking the "retard" rule.
