Author	Topic: 66 motor mounts in 66 ???
kjm65fb Journeyman Posts: 8 From: Dallas,PA USA Registered: May 2001	posted 06-20-2001 09:43 PM Just bought a 65 FB with an 1983 302. The harmonic balancer looks to be only about 1/4 inch clearance from the front sway bar. Is this O.K.?? can I use 66 motormounts without having to change frame mounts.??? Will this lift up the engine. There was a thick nut under the motormount when I bought the car, maybe this was used to raise the engine for clearance. Any thoughts on this ? IP: Logged

Alex, is that you? If it isn't, Heide is my new guru. Hi Heide, see you Saturday! SteveW [This message has been edited by steve'66 (edited 06-20-2001).] IP: Logged
