Way slick looking engine compartment you have there!

Thank you!

Yeah, I will invest in a torque strap and use the poly mounts from Schumacher. I see that the top mounts to the motor mount, what does the bottom mount to? Did you have to drill a hole to bolt it through?

The bottom is a bent top “U” shape that bolts to the K frame. Depth wise, it is a box slanted downwards. I think I had to drill 1 hole. I forget. I’ve done a bunch of these in the last. The Poly mount is stiffer than the rubber which I used.

What brand and model, prt# if you have it, for the headers in your Cuda? If I can get some that are similar in primary diameter, I think that may be best. Are those 1-5/8"?

These are TTI headers. Go to there site for information. There tube size is stepped from 1-5/8 - 1-3/4.

BTW, do you know where to get a good used/rebuilt power steering gear box for a 70 Duster? I need one, and may as well do it now!

Try site supporter PST and tell them your on this site, FABO.

Also a weighted flex plate for a non-mag engine. Do you know where to get one? The one in my car now is stock.

Ask Blue Print for what they suggest to use.

Is there anything I am overlooking before I buy this engine? I am ready to, but I will have to wait 4-6 weeks while they build it. Longest 4-6 weeks of my life!

Hummmm, let’s see, engine mounts and torque strap, proper flex plate, headers, I don’t know... but when your short something, well, **** happens. I know we try annavoid that but.... **** happens.
