Junk frame? Need metal motor mounts

Post by wc56daveyboy » Mon May 01, 2017 5:09 pm

Arghhhh. Well my 44 MB is well underway to an engine /tranny replant.

Ya see, I bought this running excellent condition bodied jeep locally.

Yea, I knew when I bought it the jeep had an incorrect F head installed
To the original tranny and transfer case.

I knew that a previous owner many years ago took out the L head and installed a F head in its place.

The install or so I thought was well done, dropping the higher F head down into the chassis enough so that the hood didn't need cutting to clear the carb

What was done, now that I'm taking out the f head and putting in a proper L head, was the "restorer" cut and modified
The metal frame mounts to make it sit lower.. Arghhh.

Now I need to cut the fabbed and welded mess and replace with correct
Mounts.

Anyone have a junked and rusted front frame section that I can buy the mounts off of?7

Why don't you just buy a new set from RFJP?
