Re: [FOT] Trans Mount

I braced my manifolds from the center down to the bottom edge of the block
with a rubber button on the bottom of the steel tube brace, so the support was
there not not extra vibration.

  Bill,

  I've braced my Cannon manifold by running supports from the
  inlet ends of the manifold down to the engine mount; I figure
  there is a lot of weight hanging off the head on that side of the
  motor so it needs all the help it can get; hopefully the broken
  manifold problem may be diminished.

  Also have balanced the motor and removed several pounds of
  reciprocating mass.  Now when I crank the motor I can tell
  when the bearings are going south; feels like nails on a blackboard?

  Real men solid mount their motors (but still use rubber at the trans
  mount).
