do u have pics of the inner structure showing the way they were rolled after cutting..Thanks

Oh sweet. Barrys at it again. Dude you haven't even finished 57! Youre a mover and a shaker!

Sure dont. From what I can tell, they trimmed the wheel well up and then welded in a new lip. The backside of the lip is filled with a healthy layer of bondo. :rolleyes:

Sweet

Bad Mav 2 is back...:thumbsup:

Well here she is ..old race cars are cool...

Did that Mav break those track records running the inline 6 thats in it now? If so thats awesome. What engine do you plan on putting in the car. Im in the process of doing a 65 Mustang and rather than do the v8 swap like every other Mustang owner ive decided to build a Nasty inline 6. Im using a clifford performance kit on my factory inline 200. Its looking like it should end up with 300 hp and 420 lbs of torque. Its at the machine shop right now. Keep updating us!

I have the motor mounts, they are great, lots of adjustment. These are well built and strong. I can make any measurements if you want.
Mike

Yes but I removed it ..I am keeping it for the future .. im going with a 302as i do not have to cut or do any major mods to get it in there.....Thanks

Mike I would love to see pics of the mounts installed ..can u get it there and mearure the frame width attached to the towers that the motor mount bolt to with the 3 bolts..thanks Barry

Looks like you found yourself a hidden treasure. I'm not a Ford guy but I love an old road race car.
Progress is looking great!! :thumbsup:

Barry,
Here are the pics, it is hard to get in there with the motor in, but you don't use all three bolts on the frame, just the upper outer and lower bolt, the upper iner bolt gets covered. The measurement from upper and lower bolt is 2 1/4'', and the space between the two upper/outer bolts is 24'', but there is lots of adjustment.
Hopefully this helps.
Mike

Thanks for taking the time to get back to me..I might just bite the bullet and get them, if i have to do some mods to make them fit that will be ok...Barry

I thought about getting these for my Maverick but am glad I didnt. Sure there is room to push the motor back to the firewall.. but no room for the bell housing (T5) to move back without lowering the motor. Lowering the motor is not much of an option for me either. Im already pretty low as it is.

Sweet project! Looking forward to see it finished! :thumbsup:

Bad Mav 2 has been sold ... i picked up my new project whatch for it its a 72 Datsun 240Z I will be installing a small block ford and T5 into ..for my track/street car..Thanks Barry
