[DeTomaso] Techno question: Really dumb--it's the motor mounts

[Mike Thomas]

Correct.  And you need to be sure the raised sections fit into the +/- 2"
hole in the upper mount section when they are bolted together.

With all the motors we've dropped back in in the last couple of years around
here, it's about evenly split on bolting the mount assembly to the engine
first or the frame first, but you don't want to try to mate the two pieces
while dropping the motor, you'll have a devil of a time getting the rubber
biscuits aligned properly.

Good luck

Dear Forum,


                I am about the install the long awaited drivetrain back into
the Pantera tomorrow.  In preparation, I pulled out the motor mounts and
then I began fiddling with the black rubber (?) hockey puck things.   I
couldn't be sure how they went back together.   In fact, I suspect that they
may have been installed previously, by me, ever so slightly wrong.

                 I pulled out the Pantera Master Parts Catalog and on page 4
of section 60 it shows the flat side of the pucks mounts to toward the cast
flat surface of the motor mounts and the contoured, non-flat sides mount
toward each other.    Is that right?    


                       Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
