Frame Side Engine Mounts

[Captainfab]

Yeah you know I think the Edelbrock tall valve covers are possibly the tallest covers made. The ones I've used are the old M/T's and the GMPP chrome steel "POWER" valve covers. I've not had any problems running a large cap HEI in the rear position though.

I used aftermarket trans x-member and had a new driveshaft made to fit the combo.

A distributor solution is to run a Pertronix with an external coil. Uses the small cap like a points dizzy. Just a thought......
