I am one of the "weird" few souls that has done that.

Not too weird. I'm putting manifolds on my '64 too.

Today I got my solid mounts made. 20 years ago, I had Moroso solid mounts. I could NOT find mounts that work. The ones that they said were for the car were too short and I couldn't get the through bolts in.

I used cold rolled 3/16" steel plate. (like the aftermarket mounts) they came out decent enough. They fit perfect, so I can't complain a whole lot.

So are you building a drag car? Just wonder why solid mounts.

The '64 frame stands won't allow the later model safety mounts to be used. The first car ripped 3 sets of stock mounts in a week and a half. This engine makes more power than the first car. I thought about urethane mounts, but the application for a '64 Chevelle is wrong, ...just like the Mr. Gasket solid mounts. The frame stands on my car are stock, but the applications for engine mounts are incorrect. The engine mounts that they say are for my car are all too short and I can't get the through bolts in. The mounts I made fit perfectly.

Spent the first half of the day cleaning bolts and brackets, then painting them. I wanted to have the engine and transmission in today, but it just wasn't ready. I am now shooting for this weekend. I have a major exam coming up Thursday morning and I need to study tonight and as much as possible tomorrow after work. I have a feeling I will be spending much of Thursday afternoon digging through all the boxes of parts trying to get them all sorted. Then I can grab 1-2 boxes and have everything I need for the engine install close by.

4L80E Installed!

She is certainly a tight fit!

What are you using for a management system to make it shift? The install looks great!
