I am not feeling those engine mounts, they look like something could fail. Please do do not be offended, I LOVE this build. The mounts just look they could use a little more boxing in, for reinforcement.

I have to agree...gauge looks a little to thin.

They were made by a guy who have really knowledge in this,, that plate that bolt to the engine is 5mm thick,, the rest 3mm

[Bearmw]

That trans is massive. What does it weigh?

3mm is less then 1/8". Considering the length, curvature, and lack of significant vertical support, I would use something at least twice that thick.

I would agree.

OP, where did you find the manual throttle bodies? I thought all M70 cars came with electric models?

They are all electric from the factory. These are modified.

Correct.. i took the motor off and changed things to get it manual,,

[The Dark Side of Will]

Just to clear out those weight numbers ,, take a look

M70 is ,, 155kg 341lbs

S54 is ,, 148kg 326lbs

S38 is ,, 151kg 332lbs

I'm pretty sure these weights, if accurate at all, are for completely bare long blocks (I've seen them before and know where they came from). I've weighed an S52B32 at 394 lbs fully dressed.

Please remake those mounts... like others have said, the material looks way too thin. I see that bending like a pretzel, especially the way the mount has to curve back what - 6"/150ish mm?
