Yay!!!! I'm sure that'll help a lot of people! Now if I could only go back 25 years and pick up a $300 Duster to shoe horn that 440 I got sitting in the shed in....
 
I hope that turns out to be good news. Too many acquisitions go the other way (Comp & Edelbrock come to mind).
I bought a Hurst shifter a few months ago the show of underneath my factory console Harley owns basically every us made Performance Brand name since the sixties in probably before and they make a lot of crap in China brother
 
The ice cream sandwich mounts definitely need some improvement. My 340 tears them apart on hard shifts. I installed a steel cable to prevent popping the last set. I would love for a company to mold in a loose bolt that allows the mount to flex some but stops the thing from pulling apart.
I use a chain on the driver side. Never broke one afterword.

All right I posted that night and agree I'm going to go back and edit that. I was using voice to text and evidently got in a hurry and didn't proofread. My bad. Except it won't let me edit..I was referring to Holley... they have acquired and globalized damn near every iconic American muscle car performance brand.

It appears the website still has the Seattle address and phone number. Is there going to be a change to the current website or is there another one? When I searched for it all I found was the engine swap website.
 
Let’s all support this business given they are taking on high demand items that most of us want. Given the sorry state of affairs in Cali in regards to businesses let’s hope they are successful.
 
part 2469 is also the same design, 93 Dodge truck/van, back to 79 318 apps in trucks.

hope their engine insulators fit better, the 360 ones are almost impossible to install
 
They used this style on dodge trucks as pictured above they are to thick . I had a set that were thinner on a Dart years ago. I don't know who made them

Wait a minute. Edelbrock sold out? I don't think I remember hearing that. Still made in America??
All I know is Holley owns just about EVERY Old School and some new Muscle Car parts suppliers.. and yes off-shore. Not saying they own Edy. Just Sayin'
 
I just drilled a hole in the left side bracket and through bolted to the k-frame. I used a small swaybar end link bushing to insulate against vibration and snugged it all down using a nylon lock nut.

Every engine we build is balanced withing 3 grams. We install them with Moroso steel mounts and a poly spool type trans mount. No movement and no vibration felt once the cam levels out. No exhaust hits or rattles using 3" all the way back from TTI.

Even if you stop the left side from lifting using rubber mounts you will see the right side squash if your making torque on a hard pull.

Drive a shaker hood car and you will not believe how much the rubber mounted engine moves. I remember having the shaker sink on the right and having to replace the mounts as a pair. Everyone will have their opinion on steel mounts. I hate rubber mounted engines.

The next best is a motor plate and cut everything right off the K-member. A strut must be used with a plate to stop forward and rearward movement so not to depend on the trans mount.
