fireguyfire Posted April 15, 2022 Report Posted April 15, 2022 I’m ready to drop my restored flathead engine back into my 1940 1/2 ton, and I’ve got a couple of questions regarding the motor mounts. 1) Does the front motor mount bracket bolt directly to the front frame crossmember ( at 2 points) directly, or is there supposed to be something between the frame and the motor mount bracket where they bolt together? 2) the rear motor mounts on my truck were badly decomposed and falling apart. I ordered a new pair from DCM and they look to be good quality. As we all know the rear motor mounts are in pairs, one on top of the frame mount bracket, and one below. The new rubber rear mounts are different; one is all rubber, and the other is rubber mounted onto a metal washer type base. Does tge mount with the metal base go onto the top of the frame bracket, or the bottom? Quote
Young Ed Posted April 15, 2022 Report Posted April 15, 2022 Front mount goes metal on metal. The rubber is at the top. Rears should have a metal core and the bigger mount is the top with both of them being inserted to the frame piece. Quote
