HELP. Engine mount spacers Weber vs. Strombergs
Posted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 12:24 am
In the final throws of finishing up my 26R mods on my frame, and wanted to get an acurrate location for the exhaust cut out on the frame to clear a set of TTR headers (1.5" primaries and 1.75" down tubes). So I offered up the bare block with a new set of Motor Mounts. The car orginally was a Stromeberg engine and I am installing a weber motor in it's place. The new mounts are for the Weber. But the 4 spacers that was off of the Strombergs were 1.125" long and was way too wide to mount in the chassis. I took them off and bolted the mount without the spacers and they appear to be off between .5" to .75" too short. So the question is, are the spacers different between a Stromberg and Weber set up? If so, what is the proper length for the Weber motor? I looked up the part in the manual and it only shows one part number. So before I go milling down the spacers, what is suppose to be in there?
