SBC Hurst Motor Mount??

I'm thinking of fabbing a sort of Hurst style motor mount for a SBC in a Model A frame. Does anyone have an original Hurst piece that they could post a pic of?

 

Speedway sell a reasonable copy of the Hurst mount if you can't be arsed fabbing one.

 

Yeah They Do But The Fuel Pump And Lower Rad Hose Hits The Friggin Thing And You End Up Cutting On It Anyhow!

 

Make your own. This one clears the fuel pump.

 

Here is one I designed and built for a friends 31 Chev----Brian

 

Here's a real Hurst mount, it's on my truck right now.

 

The original Hurst mounts have the same problems. On this car, I got a radiator shop to change the lower outlet changed to a 45 degree angle and it saved having to cut the mount.

 

This place never ceases to amaze me. Ask a question and guys bust their balls to help you out with pictures, blueprints or just damn good thought. Thank you one and all.

 

Got a 53 ford truck one time had a 409 with a borg 4 speed in it they used a hurst mount and the mount on the tranney it put to much weight on the tranny at the input I swapped the bell housing and put a 58 bellhousing with the mounts on it fabbed rear mountsto the new bellhousing.But a 409 is aheavy motor you might be all right with small block.

 

After research on the HAMB, here's one I fabbed up. Works great with SBC/4-speed.

 

The friend I had with the 31 Chevy that I put the Hurst style mount in was going to run an aluminum cased turbo 350 automatic transmission with a rear mount. After doing some research, we discovered that a few people running this combination of mounts had broken their tranny bell housings because of the distance between the front and rear mount. I solved that problem by fabbing up a set of intermediate mounts that picked up the bolts which hold the tranny to the rear of the engine block, and a pair of matching "receivers" that welded to the frame. Since I was running the early ford style mounts under the front Hurst style mount, and the rubber tranny mount/isolating pad, I used a set of the early Ford rubber mounts at this intermediate position as well.---Brian---You can actually see them installed on the engine in my earlier post.

 

I got my Metal Shop kids to plasma cut two of them today based on Johnnyfast's Cad drawing. I should have one finished this weekend. Thanks again to everyone.

 

Here's some pics of a front plate made by Ansen, same as Hurst, sorry for the shitty pics.

 

Glad they still have Metal Shops in BC schools. They're phasing them out in US highschools.

 

This guy right if your going to race or do burn outs you need somthing like this or you will break somthing. Its fine if your going to putt around Ive been reading up on these today i need one in the car im doing

 

Great information here...........I was just chatting about HURST this past week.

I know this is an old post, but I'm looking for instructions for the Asnen front mount.

 

I have a take off from Speedway. Pretty much same design except for the birdshit welds and out of kilter spacers
