I found an interesting configuration in my 128 race car.
The snail mount is wedged to for the engine to lean toward the front of the car.
The only reasons I can come up with are:
1. Leveling the carbs (dual DCNF) but that seems unlikely to me.
2. Worn mount and the wedge is keeping it from rattling/moving.
My problem is I'm installing a new header and the collector is interfering with the floor-firewall seam. My thoughts are to move the wedge to the from side of the mount effectively leaning the engine back hopefully providing a bit more room at the seam.
I am curious what the collective thoughts are here, pictures to be added this evening.
The dog bone mount has been replaced with hiem joints, the lower trans mount is still rubber, I am also open to replacing it with a solid mount.
