When they don't have your motor mount at Autozone
You just make your own.

A new use for those metric crescent wrenches. And yes... I have seen metric crescent wrenches. It was stamped Metric them.

Seems like they might want to weld a little fill around the thumb adjusters to eliminate a potential weak spot, but maybe not.

So what kind of engine do you think that is? I'm guessing some type on inline 6 in a rat rod. The unique indents in the block should be a good way to id it, if you ever seen it before.

That's a diesel, but cant tell if it's tractor or not. X2 on the nice welds- somebody does that quite often to lay a pattern like that vertically. I don't think that things gonna go anywhere.

I disagree, Mark. Does the fabricator know if he annealed or hardened the base forging by welding it? Either is NOT good when supporting an engine that weighs in excess of 800lbs.

Take a close look at where he heated the handles to bend them. I don't think they'll last long. Looks like they're weakened and not hardened to get the strength back. I wouldn't trust them as far and the end of the street.
