Got my engine mounts today and was gonna put the motor in the hole but after looking at the shipping box a little closer I found I might have the wrong mounts.
Somting wong I'd say. That sucks!
Yea not sure if the slant cross member is the same but I think not.
I Posted on small block engines and am sure I'll get my answer soon.
Smart guys on here for sure.
One mount is taller than the other so that's what got me looking closer.
Yup they are different. You just need stock 360 mounts.
Kinda thought so thanks.
Is it the brackets or the mounts
If it's just the mounts they might work. Do they look correct?

You may be true about the value but they were pretty crude to drive and the Lucas wiring well... If you know about Lucas wiring, It sucks on just about everything. That thing should perform real well on the track. That's the next plan, track time. Did you watch the movies? Kind of long but old Butch does a pretty good job. I think they git 375 to the wheels.
Hope CF aint laying under that pickup still.
From what I see the Doc was building it to enjoy and drive it not looking at a collector.
Kind of ironic about the Doc. He tried some hot rod modern treatment on himself. Guinea pig so to speak. Well we know how that worked but hope they got some data from it. We did a factory production racer Norton for him.
I guess when you don't have anything to loose do what you can.
Norton ? got any pictures?
No. I'm doing another one right now for the builder of the Docs bike. I just do the paint work. I can get a google image.
Haven't seen a Norton in years.
My customer is a Norton aficionado. Another one is into triumphs. I do a lot of work for those guys.
I like bikes been a long time I guess I need training wheel now.
I like dirt the best. Remember the old Benelli if I spelled that right. Maco, Bultaco and so on.
Did this one a while ago. Someone rattle caned it and I stripped it with lacquer thinner and was able to map out the original paint.
I missed that era by a bit. Mostly Jap bikes for me. It's amazing how much these guys know about those British bikes and the people who raced them and what to do to modernize them where they need it.
Jap bikes are hard to beat they do a good job. Worked in a warehouse in Seattle Washington for Yamaha, Kawasaki and Bultaco in the late 70s . The Bultaco was like driving a Cadillac compared to the Jap bikes back then. I'm talking about dirt bike not road, never really got into road bikes.
The only new bike I ever bought was a vertical twin 650 Suzuki. Not real fast but torque and handled well. I was always bouncing the foot pegs off of the pavement. Recently played with some DOHC Hondas. One was a 900 F That was a blast but I'm done on the street. Might get a tame little dirt bike again.
I would like another trials bike I can go slow and climb some hills that was always my favorite thing. 250 cc would be great.
Yea never mind no hills here.
Wow. Talented guy. Does he make money doing that?
He was very talented made a lot of money , passed away in 2009 he was only 54 years old . Heart attack will driving rolled his truck many times across 4 lanes of highway .
