How TO: Hot Rod engine mounts for your AV8 build Junkyard Roadster Pt 9 Model A hotrod motor

Here is part 9 of the "Junkyard Roadster" build. In this video, the pre-war traditional hotrod build gets engine and transmission mounts. While I use the typical style engine mounts, I add a little twist to make them a bolt-in mount. Things are a little different when it comes to the transmission mount. In keeping with the theme of the car, I reuse more cast-off stock Model A parts to build a pretty unique mount and crossmember brace.

I like how you utilized and fabricated the old mounts for the transmission.Definitely a lot of moves before the final assembly but no avoiding that.A plasma cutter would work well with this type of custom build.Nice work 👍🏻

Thanks. I have an older hypertherm that I picked up earlier this year. I need to take the time to get it set up and learn how to use it It would definitely save a lot of time.

Looking good! 👍

[@Maine_A_S]

Thank you.

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

Making good progress!

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. I'm not sure it's going to be enough to make the race though.

Ya got this mighty fine Sir keep it up thks for sharing your project with us l,m working on my Essex 28 seem to hav issues too but least l,m not only one from Canada 🇨🇦 SK later 😊 ya got my vote ❎ signed up for adventure

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. Time is running out quickly so we'll see how it goes.

You did the front mounts exactly how I fit a "B" 4 banger into my A Coupe !!! Now im curious if a V8 will bolt in .

[@Maine_A_S]

The width on the B mount might be the same as a v8. That would make sense so they wouldn't have to have 2 separate mounting spots on the 32. If I get a minute. I'll measure the width on the mounts and compare it to the B engine I have.

[@jimshotrod2519]

I made my own front mount for the B motor as I wanted to use the v8 style biscuits ,if you have time check out The Sacramento Coupe.

Crap! I would have sent you some OYS motor mounts

[@Maine_A_S]

Damn. I didn't think of that. Thanks. It does have an OYS front main leaf in it though.

Can it be considered a "period correct" build if you are using brand new grade 8 hardware (ha ha)? Looking great! Going to be a great ride--can't wait to see it in person!😎

[@Maine_A_S]

You got me. I should have patina'd them first. Unfortunately, the roadster won't make it up there this year.
