I remember someone posted a CAD drawing of a Hurst styled motor mount way back when. Can't remember who and the search function comes up empty. I am wanting to build my own , rather than buy a Chinese made Speedway version. Mine will be modified, so just basic dimensions would be fine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Root
i have one drawn in autocad. ill post a picture with some dimensions. this fit my engine perfectly in my 34 ford.
Here is a pic.. if you can message me your email.. I'll email the cad and dxf file to you Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Root looks like you got it covered, I was going to offer to make you one, I have an original in the box to pull measurements from. There are actually two different Hurst mounts or were. depending on balancer size. The one that I have here fits the small block as well as the W motor. Here is the H.Hag's image right side up, If you are using original autodesk software you can export the image as a Jpeg or print it as a PDF as well.
That's a nice piece. PnB, It's for a 55 265. I'll probably run a little larger balancer, since the 265 one was more like a place to bolt a pulley, rather than a balancer or dampener.
Mine will clear the larger balancer I believe. I'll have to read the instructions again to see for sure and match numbers. Give me a minute or two. Ya know I wouldn't do this for just anyone right. Yep mine will clear the 8" balancer there is a kit ( CV-202) for use when there is cross member interference and it requires a 6" balancer.
i have a drawing of one from an early sixties Car Craft magazine that has the more common "straight out" mounting wings on it. I have used that one several times in years past and it positions the engine a touch higher if you' d like to see it.
I used a Hurst mount as a pattern (Thanks Chuck / ProEnfo!!) for my Anglia and modified it (a lot). I didn't like the way the original mount used spacers and you couldn't pull the timing cover off without removing the mount first.
The planets are inline. I just searched for this info. Perfect timing Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Just out of curiosity, what's it going in? Is it something that a "standard" mount will work in? I can make you a pencil tracing of mine and send it to you in the mail, if you just need the part that bolts up to the block. Yea, I know that's not real high tech. You'll probably have to modify any design to make it work in a custom application anyway. My engine is offset an inch to the right, so the total width and offset is unique to my application, but the basic bolting up to the engine should be universal.
1935 Ford pickup, 1955 265 Chevy. No provisions for side mounts. I can buy one, but I would rather make my own. I seem to end up modifying everything I buy anyway.
Root, I seem to remember using ~1/4 inch steel 'plates' between block and mount bolts, to have room for a stock fuel pump. Been 40 years, sorry!
I am planning on welding some small spacers on the back of the plate to help alleviate the fuel pump issue.
My kid uses Hurst SP-150 spacers and Jeep cushions along with a "clock-able" fuel pump, still a tight fit; but works. Part # for the Jeep mount - Anchor 2040
Here is what I have . I have used this a couple of times with good results, as it mounts the engine about 1 1/2" higher than the standard Hurst mount. That means in a '35-'40 type chassis you don't have to run the U shaped spacers.
I've got an old small journal mount that was on a 265 in the '37. We can make a template when you're here in Oct.
Here's one I drew up and had laser cut. Put a 1/4" spacer between it and the block and also bent the ends forward to clear the pump. In a 32. If this looks good, I am sure I can find the cad dwg.
