Well ,finally some progress,bought these motor mounts from Chassis Engineering,they wernt long enough,3/4in short when i installed them,so i found a waterjet place ,and they cut me spacers,3/8 in. thick,to mount between the motor mount and block,perfect.!!!!!

I have an almost new Lincoln 216 I would like to sell. It comes with a brand new Lincoln spool gun that has never been out of the box.

I ran a piece of 3/4" square tubing along the lower edge of the dash with "legs" on either side of the body that were then welded to some 3/16" plates that reach over the frame rail. Those plates were than drilled for body mounting bolts to the frame. I also glassed the square tubing to the lower edge of the dash. With this set up you'll have a very stout mount that is virtually unseen.
I like your choice of motors, great pics! These little babys always draw alot of attention when they're fixed up nice You can rev them to 6000 rpms, alot of go fast goodys can be had, they make good power and are simple to work on, to boot. Reliable as a rock! Just put in a Pertronix Electronic ign. and your good for a lifetime.

On my car we made the sides double and foam filled but tapering off to single side panel after the 3/4" vertical tube. We could have just as easily used 3/16" or 1/4" flat bar for the vertical and upholstered over that.
Thanks for the video's they got me motivated. Been working on some other projects and finally finished with that, and my wife asked me when am I going to finish working on our car so we can get out in it again. She really enjoys the t-bucket
