Thanks for all the info Markeb. The weight was something I was wondering about and you answered that for me, cost was another thing. I have a 1958 348 and a 1955 Super Red Ram hemi that need rebuilds but the cost is high for being cool. It did look to me like the motor mounts were a little further forward than on a small block. I understand that the 60 chev still had the front motormount set up, do you know when they went to the side mount?
Husker,Hot Rod John, jon1963 ---- First, get it home, take it to the car wash and use their vacuum, and then pressure wash the engine compartment to see what I have to work with. After its cleaned up, check the wiring to see if the mice chewed it all up, put a battery in it, pull the plugs and see if it turns over. Disconnect the fuel line from the pump and if it turns over see if it fires. IF the old V6 runs, clean the tank out, go through the brakes, replace the broken passenger window, throw a seat cover on it and drive it ! If the engine is bad....figure out a plan B. Oh, and lose the stock rack. lol
