Good to know -- looks like the same part as the Anchor unit, but who knows.

Andrew,

Now that the mounts are in have you noticed any less engine/drive train noise inside the car? I've beed wanting to do this for a while on mine as I get an unusual amount of drivetrain noise inside the car. I'm thinking the mounts are collapsed and there is metal to metal contact somewhere.
Did the header to steering shaft clearance get any better?

Hans, I just got the header gaskets in from Jerry yesterday, so I haven't been able to get everything buttoned back up yet. Also, I'm redoing the pinion seal on the rear diff yet again (maybe the third time will be the charm), so that's adding to the delay. I'll post up as soon as I get the chance to get things re-assembled!

Andrew thanks for the tip. I ordered a couple of mounts from Rockauto. I figured while the block is being pulled what the hell. Daryll

Yep, I wish I hadn't been so cheap when I had everything disassembled months ago. Makes sense to do it when they are easily accessible!

Re: Motor mount swap questions
 

Hans, I drove the car today, I can't say I noticed any appreciable difference in the sound or vibration inside the car - but admittedly it's been over a month since I drove it so I'm not sure if it helped. It did NOT help with my header clearance issue, so I'm rather frustrated about that. My #1 primary tube is still just a hair away from the steering shaft. Perhaps I need to try to shim up the motor mount with some large washers to gain some clearance.

Good to know, I went ahead and ordered a pair from RockAuto as well. Good price too, paid $89 delivered. I figure if nothing else it's time they get changed out on my 21yr old car!

Let us know how the shimming goes. I have the same issue as you, the steering shaft is like 1mm away from the header pipe. Everytime I turn right I can hear the engine touching the shaft.

Hans,

Pull the motor and put some cams in there

Are you kidding, between the new job and the new house I barely have time to drive the thing. I have 3 Z projects lined up, parts are sitting here. This will make 4.

What are the three project?
