General Discussion / engine / frame mount mods ?

« on: January 18, 2010, 08:38:24 AM »

Hey guys, does any body know if you have to modify the frame or engine mount if you install a 2' cowl hood. at the moment my 350 (i have a 68 camaro sedan) sits very close to the firewall and the extractors hit the steering box and pitman arm anyhow if i move the motor so the air cleaner sits dead in the middle of the induction hole my frame mounts and the engine mounts dont line up. i have exact no matching frame mounts and the correct engine mounts. has any body had this problem, other forums have said they have had problems with extractors hitting steering components and having to put washers and plates to solve this problem.any help would be much appreciated. dave

thanks guys, went to all the links and checked my frame mounts and found these no,s 3980938 (r) 3955183 (l) lo horse brackets checked the engine mounts with some pics and seem to be the right ones, is the sub frame different with the diff years, plus why do the hooker extractors hit the steering. when i look at my mates 67/350 his mounts are different with the overhang which goes to the back of the crossmember on the 68 his are facing foward. thanks dave

ive done some research and it seems i have the right frame brackets for a 1968/350. is there any differance in the subframes in the first gens, my mate has a 350 4 spd 67 and his frame brackets are opposite to mine and his motor sits 20-50 mm foward. if i move my motor foward my hooker extractors will be hitting more. i cant find many people in aussie land that know much about them, is their a site full of photos that i could look at which might help me. and can we post photos in this forum and maybe someone can see what my problem is. thanks
