Motor mount frame support

[suntreemcanic]

I am putting a 425 nailhead in my 52 Buick. I bought some motor mounts that fit 425's. I can not picture in my mind what the frame mount looks like to build some. Does anyone have a picture of one?

This is the passenger side on 66 Riviera. The rubber part above the mount is part of the engine mount you apparently have.

rcull, first thank you for the picture. That is a great picture, you must not live in a desert. I have a motor mount in my hand and I can not see anyway it would attach to what I see in the picture. From my research all the common Buicks used the same motor mount. I need to find another inch some how to lower my engine to get the drive line angle more desirable.

Here is a line drawing from the '66 shop manual which shows a little more of the mounting details.

The '61-66 full-size nailheads all used the same part no for the engine mounts (except for the '66 Wildcat and Electra 225).

Here is another shot with a good nailhead engine mount sitting in place. I left the damaged one where it was in the first picture to help with orientation.

No desert, and this time of year our grounds maintenance crew has a tough time keeping up, but then the supervisor is a donkey and his four helpers are just sheep

No desert,

funny thing is, you've got one pretty close to you.
