This looks like it would clear a Weber 8 stack with the velocity stacks removed. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one. It would make a engine install with the webers a whole lot easier. 

Cheers, David Goodwin

Dear Lynn, 





Forgive me for answering for Bud. It goes over the rear part of the manifold and under the roof. 





Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Bud, does this arch over or under the roof? 



Thanks

Bud, are you saying a doctors advice enhanced your tool?

Dear Lynn, 


Please see the attachments. I was shown this gizmo by a 
fellow in the Arizona Pantera club *years* ago and I cannot recall his name. 
It is not my invention. I used the chains and leveler method twice and 
found it awkward. After I saw his solution, I copied it with the help of 
my local machine shop. It works very well. It is obviously very simple. 
Two bolts out; bolt it on and torque down the bolts then you're in business. 


There can be interference with high rise intake manifolds 
and carbs. There may be interference with your EFI set-up. 

I have used it often over twelve years and it is now a one 
man job, but it is always wise to have a helper , if available. 


Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

I thought I would ask the collective this question. 



I am preparing to do the dry assembly of my car (post body work, pre paint). 
I am running an IR fuel injection system. I realize that we install the 
motor and ZF coupled together. I remember seeing and reading suggestions 
regarding installing a motor that involved different attachment points to 
make things easier. Obviously using a bolt plat to the carb mount is not 
going to work for me. I would also like to install the motor, if possible, 
with the throttle bodies mounted. This may preclude taking a strap to the 
front of the motor due to throttle body clearance issues although I'm not 
sure 



I remember seeing a bracket that mounted to the top bellhousing/block bolts 
and then curved over the motor. Is this something I should fabricate? I 
can certainly make one with little effort.. I am planning on putting the 
motor in and taking it out several times during the dry assembly process. 



Suggestions would be appreciated as I'm pretty sure my marriage cannot 
survive this process if I have to involve my wife. 



Thanks in advance. 



Lynn
