Hi Everyone,
Where can I purchase a new front engine mount for my 235 that's in my '62? The other day I had the hood open while the engine was running after feeling a slight vibration at idle, and found that the fornt engine mount is oil soaked, buldging, and starting to crack/split making the front of the engine move up + down. frown
TIA,
David

I assume you have the side mounts since it's a 62. Earlier trucks had a true front mount under the balancer. Your local parts store should have the side mounts.

The '62 261 I got out of a 1962 suburban had a front mount that was almost the same as the 1950 front mount in my truck, at least the engine side of it was. I don't know if it was a factory setup or not, but the owner said it was. Try Chevy Duty.

If you do have the older style front mount, you need the oil shield, a metal bracket that sits over the mount, keeps the oil from rotting the rubber. Available through the on-line dealers, or you can make one from a piece of thin sheet.

Hi Guys, the front mount is directly below the bottom pulley. It doesn't have a metal cover, is there a pic of one of these in the stovebolt gallery? :confused: Will check out some online vendors for both items. smile Many thanks,
David

American Classics has them, their ad is at the top of the page. I'm puzzled on this as to just which mount you have. Search their site for years 52 to 62, you will find some different mounts used. You will need to compare the pictures to what you have to be sure you order the right part. I would call whatever outfit I was going to order from to be sure what I was getting, some of these can be tricky in getting the right part.

Here's a picture of the shield I was talking about, but it usage ends with 55.
