How To Make and Install Custom Engine Mounts (Model A Hot Rod Build Part 1)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- On this episode of Make It Kustom, I am working on a 1931 Model A Roadster building custom small block Chevy engine mounts using flat head Ford style rubber pucks. The reason for doing this on a frame that already had mounts was to lift the drivetrain for ground clearance. I levelled the engine and transmission and then started measuring for my mounts. I transfer these measurements into a CAD program and cut my plates on my Hypertherm Powermax 65 CNC plasma cutter. Using the brake press, I form the mounts into the final shape and weld them using my MIG welder. Once ground smooth, I reinstall the engine. After the engine and transmission are aligned in their final spot, I TIG weld to the chassis.

Good to see energetic custom builds from younger crafters like you! thanks for your great video!
That means a lot Floyd! We're very amped for kustom work over here!
Is there a video on the beautiful x shaped braces in the back of the car with the holes in them?
Not yet but a great question!
@@MakeItKustom 😊❤️
I like those motor mounts,they turned out great.Great work Karl!!!!! Can’t wait to see how it turns out. You can build just about anything you need with your skills and your tools. Love your shop.
Thanks Roger! I’m very happy working here now
@@MakeItKustom What's the story behind your name "Japhands"?
Please make the raised SBC raised motor mounts available for a 32 Ford chassis.
Such a clean setup, well done!!!!!
Thanks man I appreciate it!
You make this look so easy Karl.
A true craftsman.
That stand-up forklift is cool as all hell, What's the load capacity and who's the manufacturer of it? Oh by the way, your fab. skills are awesome too!
Thanks so much man I appreciate it! Yeah this forklift is worth it’s weight! Perfect size
Is there a public site where I can chat with you personally and get your advice and thoughts on my Jeep build
Yeah hit me up on Instagram
New subscriber, AWESOME BUILD ON YOUR TRUCK !!! You’ve got some great talent there bro, looking forward to seeing your next build.
Thanks man can’t wait to get on the next one!
Dude I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while, so glad you started a TH-cam channel! 🤘
Thanks Ed! I’m excited to be here!
Always love your videos Karl!!
Awesome video as always. Thanks Carl
You’re welcome and thanks for watching cheers!
I know that this is an old video, raising the front of the engine, would it not change the drive /tailshaft angle???
Thank Halfass for a great recommendation 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes it does but it’s all within spec
I am very impressed with your skills and attention to detail 🙂
Thank you so much Matt!
I am not the guy who goes crazy about everything being of one brand, but I do question why, since you are building from scratch, aren't you using a Ford engine and tranny?? Again, I am not a "purist", but I think if I were building something from scratch, I'd try to make it all of one brand!! Most times people tell me they use chevy engines due to them being a dime a dozen and more than that because they are easier to fit into tighter packages... I very typically see Chevy engines in 20's - 40's Mopars and the cheap and tight thing falls to the BULL SHIT bin as 318's and 360's were more than plentiful for decades!!!! Even overdrive trannies!!!! And if they were really worried about space, a 904 tranny is smaller than a 350 GM!!! The thing that really made me question this is that if you had used a Ford engine, the dizzy is in the front of the engine, so no need for the sculpted firewall...
I think when it comes down to it there’s no right or wrong way it’s just whatever somebody wants. I have no opinion one way or another. I love a beautiful engine just as much as anybody else but a small block Chevy can still look interesting. This is a customers project
The small block chevy has more speed equipment available for it and it's cheaper. Also availability, remember the last gen1 small block was built in 86? The real question is have you ever tried to sell an early ford hot rod with a small block Ford? I have and it took time. If the car had a SBC it would have sold more quickly.
Hello sir I have a old 35 chassis with a 45 chevy cab and I'm wanting to put a LS3 in it. What motor mounts do I need to get?
Love the model A’s 😮looking good 👍 love your show.keep up the good work.cheers!. good choice of music
Have any experience pouring polyurethane to rebuild an old engine mount? I'm having bad luck matching my stock mount with off the shelf mounts that don't line up on the engine side though they're supposedly for my engine. Though the old rubber is falling apart I surprisingly don't have vibration problems, I'm just doing the transmission mount and don't want to do the work again in a few years if the motor mounts get worse.
Like your builds! Do you have a 1-???# video build of your roadster? I’m starting a project of a nailhead powered 48 Anglia Roadster( “phantom Anglia”. I like engine mounts, where did “donuts” come from? I like your Curtis style bars, do you show a video making them ? And dozens more questions…. Thanks!
There is some of it on my Instagram page Japhands Kustom’s. The donuts are Ford flathead mounts. Thanks so much man cheers!
Came by on the request of Brent @ Half Ass Kustoms. Like your channel. Subbed. Best of luck with your new TH-cam channel.
Thanks so much man! Welcome!
I started watching you last night, I think that you are great. You explain things very simply, even when they are complex. Chopping a 1960 Caddy! Thanks
Awesome
Why would you use a 700r4 when you can use a 460 and have the shifting via switch
Good work, harder and slower with a camera:) and your subs are flying
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Did I miss you building the 39 zephyr quarters
Phenomenal vid as usual. I gotta build some motor mounts for a jetboat here in a few weeks. 🤘👊
I'd say a peace sign on that fire wall would look awesome!!!
Thanks buddy I’m doing my A model 30 coupe too 😊
Clean approach, nicely done ✅👍
Thanks for the awesome content. Would love you work along side you one day.
We plan on doing classes pretty soon so that could become a reality! If Covid would go ahead and fuck right off that would be great lol
What exactly do those mounts come from i have never seen those and i do fords mosly
Halfass sent me here and I like what I see ........... subscribed
Happy to hear, Mike! Thanks for subscribing!
Whats the thickness of the metal using to make mount?
0:39 lets not act like bro aint back there playing my shittttttt
Very nice work, great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
VERY impressed with your motor mount design and fabrication. That engine ain't going nowhere.
I am very impressed with your knowledge and skills I've been fabricating over 55 years. I like it when I hear people comment about my work"that looks factory made" in other words not a cobled up piece of crap.
Want to say hello and respect , from me, I’m Russian, but long time I’m living aboard at Asia now. You have a gold hand and i have a dream meet with you and take some your classes and work with you! Metal my life too! Cheers 🍻
What press finger brake press are you using? Who makes it? Looks custom. I need to add one to my garage.
Love your content! Very clean. Keep up the great work!
art work!
Thanks how!
Was this a custom frame?
really like this music
Well done great mounts and so well explained I’m going to make my mounts this way now thanks to you buddy keep that motor Running mate cheers Larrysullivan in London cheers
how much would it cost me to get a set of motor mounts for my 81 rx7 got a 77 sbc going in
Sorry I can’t do that for ya 🙏
Smooth seamless work!
Thank you!
For the body shop which caliper do l buy the manual or digital ?
I prefer manual but doesn’t matter much
nice clean welds-
BADD ASS...
Another great video Karl keep them coming
Как на заводе !!! Великолепно !!!👏👏👏
Great video, I'm so far behind on your vids but as I sit for lunch ,I can watch and catch up...thanks Carl for all the great vids
You’re so welcome man! I’m glad you like the vids!
I don't like the engine too low in the engine bay either. Just doesn't Look right. Nice work man! Doing a 41 Chevy pickup and I had to tell my friend nope that engine is too low. He agreed that it looks Much better my way. 😎👍
Great minds think a like!
welcome to youtube! it's better here than on Instagram. Good luck!!!
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Another Great Video 👍😁
Will u have clearance for the driveshaft now or will u be trimming?
I do have driveshaft clearance thankfully
When you are cutting/drilling a series of holes and each one is going to be larger is there a formular to determine the location of each hole, or do you just use the size of the drill bit or say die and place it, in the next location and fit it?
Example: A triangular piece of material and you want the holes to be larger and in proportion as you move from the smaller to the larger end.
Thanks. I hope I was clear enough.
I wish there was. I just draw a border then play with hole sizes that are spaced nice and are consistent on the border
@@MakeItKustom Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks MUCH for getting back and you guys be cool and take care.
What metal brake is that your using?
This is a homemade brakeusing Accu press dies
No need for harding the mounts?
No good with the steel as they are
Rubber motor mounts don’t have screws or nuts on the bottom?
These have a shoulder bolt that go from underneath and nut on the top
@@MakeItKustom thanks man!
This is going to be beautiful
Thanks man!! It's been quite the build so far! Had to put a hold on it for the time being, because of some by law BS happening at the shop right now. Have to find a new space to do customer work
Looking good.
Thanks !
You are a very talented metal fabricator, came across from Half-Ass, am amazed at your workmanship
Thanks so much Phillip! Glad to have you here!
