Engine mount help

Okay I need some help, I am using the CCR plans for my mounts according to the plans I need "Standard biscuit mounts"

Anyone care to give me a make model and year of something I can use?

The parts stores are not much help around here.
 
Ron sells them look at his setup. RPM that is
 
The rubber mounts by them selves arent that pricey are they????? Or do you need the metal mounts to .
 
Youngster says use Hocky pucks, whatever those are.:rolleyes:
 
On one of my older T's, I cut some out of used steel belted tires, drilled a hole through them for the bolts. I also made body mounts the same way. Just be sure to use a vice and don't hold them in your hand when you drill.
 
Use the hockey puck like youngster said the tire may be to thin. But only if you dont want to spring for the real deal.Their should be pleanty of those up there.:cool::cool:
 
In the old days the mount rubber part s were from Ford flathead motors.... with and open drive line and a stick shift sometimes the clutch would chatter from the engine moving back and forth. when ever possible I try to use factory mounts that fit the engine from later years and make the frame brackets to fit.. a lot of 50's and 60's mounts just had the rubber bonded to the steel and when the (glue ) failed the engine would move around and a lot of G M cars the engine would move enough to bind the steering NOT GOOD.
 
Early Ford (39-48) stock mounts, fit into a large hole in the steel frame mount, that keeps everything from moving back and forth, and the stock bolts lock everything together, and it is now all in rubber and insolated from the frame, a very nice strong mount... :)
 
I got hockey pucks. Had the Speedway rubber bisquits but they detiorated in just a couple of years. Had the pucks now for about 5 years and still going strong. Plus you can tighten the bolt more on a hockey puck and not collapse them like on the bisquit. I made some washers out of 1/4" aluminum plate to fit in the big hole then a bigger washer behind that as well as a big washer on top of the puck.
 
I went to the local farm supply store and bought a piece of conveyor. I cut 8 biscuits out of it with a 2" holesaw. I plan to stack 2 under the motor mounts, and one each under the bolt heads and nuts. It's a thought.
 
Its easy to spend 10 bucks in gas tring to find a 15.00 item. My wife says that doesnt count but in my book that 15.00 item just went up to 25.00.
