@@thrashersghettofab1417 Do you have any concerns with how rigid your motor is? I believe there needs to be a form of isolator (rubber) or some engineered mechanical give to manage motor movement. There's a reason why its an industry standard to have rubber integrated into the motor mount. Just my thinking. One more thought....im sure your referencing your exhaust clearance with the steering set up. Hey, I'm new to fab....there's much I don't know....so please take my views as open discussion and not criticism.
@@BoxcarsGarage I know there’s a lot of debate on solid motor mounts on street cars. This will be the third car I’ve built with solid mounts. I had zero vibration or any issues breaking anything. I think the reason factory cars are rubber mounted is to make them as comfortable as possible. I totally see where you are coming from.
Are you planning on putting some kind of rubber or other material to insulate the steering column? The harmonics from the engine might find their way up to that wheel and give you tingly fingers.
I wasn’t going to. I also have a 34 pickup setup the same way. I don’t remember it being too much of an issue. If it does become an issue. I’m sure I could add one later.
Cool. You seem to plan what you're doing and think ahead. I see so many guys build old cars and I'm like "how in the hell can you even stand to drive that thing". I have a 23T that I'm going to hopefully start on after back surgery.......we'll see.......
If you are supporting your steering shaft with a bracket attached to the engine block, are you aware that engines twist and move around under torque loads? That is why the need for flex joints in the exhaust system.
My feeling with the motor is solid mounted. It is acting as a crossmember in the frame. I feel it's no different attaching it where I did or the chassis.
You Sir are a jack of all trades!!
GOOD ONYA' THRASHER! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! SHINE BRIGHT!!💥👍💪REGARDS FROM AUSTRALIA!!
Not sure I agree with mounting the support on the motor. But we all gotta do what we gotta do. Good vid and nice project!
Thanks for the feedback. I went back and forth on that one too. I figured the motor is solid as mounting it the frame. We shall see!

Thanks for sharing this, your doing it just Awesome!
Great vid! I think you will make it if you keep it up!
Thanks man, I keep at it for sure!!

@@reaper20015 thanks, I do try and think things out, some times probably too much. Good luck with your build!!
