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

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.

... and then you have those holes running right through each side ...  Car club in New Jersey called the Gasket Goons. Been to a few of their shows - this would fit right in if they had some rust on 'em.

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.

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.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
