after years of driving around with the incorrect early bar on my '71 sideshift conversion, i've sourced the correct late bar (with the holes for cables & shift rod - i'll be sure not to install it reversed!).
i'm planning to back her up onto ramps and supporting the engine on at least a couple stands. provided i do that well, any reason i couldn't replace that cross bar without disturbing parts other than the rear shift rod and clutch cable? i seem to recal that flipping the washers on the bar to body mounts might stiffen things up a bit. is that correct or should i just replace those? long term plan was to change to sbc but, that's a long way off... |

The sideshifter engine bar was firmly attached to the body with a U-channel shaped piece at the outer end. I think if you have two rubber mounts in the system, the engine/trans will probably shift around too much.
It's a pretty simple piece to fabricate if you can't find any. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) No rubber on the outside for sideshifters. It's a solid mount. On a sideshifter, the rubber mounts go between the engine bar and the engine. You will need those and the appropriate brackets. They are a bitch to get to, even with the engine out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
