The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Will you teach me about motor mounts? '54 3100

<BUMP>
I'm getting a little nervous. Can you tell me the best way to insert the two center bolts of the front motor mount through the front plate?

How did you replace the two center bolts when the engine was in the truck?

If 7/16" carriage bolts won't fit without removing the harmonic balancer - what should I use? Diameter? Special heads/nuts/washers?

I think that I've figured out that removing the timing cover is not an option.

I'm taking it to the shop Friday morning. Thought that I had all the parts including bolts and nuts. Now it looks like I need different center bolts.

Guess I haven't learned as much about motor mounts as I thought!

Thanks for your help.
