Re: 198Plus build

I mocked up an old Big Block that I had laying around.......The tubular mounts worked out fine. I used a set of BBC Hooker headers for a 69 Camaro, they fit very nice. Now I'll send the headers off and have them hot jet coated.

Re: 198Plus build

Who did you buy your engine mounts from. It looks like you used the rear frame holes did that give enough room for the dist.
Thanks

Re: 198Plus build

I got the mounts from Brothers, I used the rear holes and have plenty of room for distributor. I'm having to use short valve covers but still able to use roller rockers just had to use the stainless steel ones.
