Torque for 292 Rubber Motor Mounts

mike · Post by **mike** » June 2, 2009, 6:48 am

Now that we've found the motor mounts:
Does anyone know the torque specified value for the early rubber motor mount bolts (the ones in front of the block and on the bellhousing ears)?

Thanks,
Mike

Do you have all the mount parts? there is a spacer inside the mount which should stop the bolt from tightening up to tight. Front torque is 45 to 55, and rear support is 70 to 90 ft. lbs.

Thanks for the info. I've got all the parts and will torque them down shortly.

Thanks,
Mike

That is way technical for me.
I just hit them with a 1/2 impact til I figure they won't loosen up.
never even thought to check for a torque setting one them. But then I am the guy who tried to weld his toenail to his toe this weekend, LOL.

Okay speaking of motor mounts, I'm a little disappointed that I haven't heard anything from John's F-Fun Hundreds since I ordered a set a week and a half ago. All I received was an automated email the day after I placed the order saying that they were 'processing my order.'

I bought the parts on May 22 and today is June 2 and I still haven't heard from them. I sent them an email asking about the status - no reply. I called them several times during the day only to get the answering machine saying that no one was in the office.

Anyone know how I can get in touch with them? Or does anyone live nearby them and can tell me whats going on over at headquarters?

This is bugging me, I thought I would be putting in the mounts last weekend, but nooo......

Hey mike where did you order your motor mounts from?

I got mine from Joe's Antique Auto in Uxbridge, MA. He sells Carpenter parts, but if I recall correctly, he got them from another source (might've been out-of-stock @ Carpenter).

How much did the total cost, if you don't mind me asking?
