1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi" - Page 5

Tom we use a stock one from the parts house, its rubber. The trans is still in one piece even after our big wheel stand last week. The trans mount did allow the trans to move enough for the pan to hit the track and bend the plug to 90 degrees but without any breakage to the case or tail shaft housing.

Be quick but don't hurry, we all want to see the latest work of art!

John Dinkle used an after market poly trans mount. It broke. The bad thing was, you couldn't see that it was broke. Cost him a lot of driveshaft and rear end damage before he found the problem. I agree with Larry, I always used the stock, rubber style mount...never had any problems. JB

Some progress while I was gone. Cage is in except for side bars, seat mounts, fuel cell mounts, battery holders ect. Car is set to go to body shop Monday to have the cage painted and fix the paint on drivers door that I screwed up taking the decals off!

Tom that looks very nice. Can I ask what made you decide to put the x braces in? My car is at the chassis shop as well and we've talked about the different way to install the rear bars. I didn't know if the extra weight of the bars had a real advantage?

Tom Nolan · 11-25-2013, 12:06 PM

We added the extra X bracing because the back bars are so long, over 10'....weight was never an issue, all chrome moly and there will be plenty of lead in the appropriate places anyway. I like to see my cars leave without twisting!
