float a motor
 

31 pickup.... last fall I bought a fam kit from a guy at an antique engine ant tractor show.(a bargain aint always a bargain) it was in the original box and I got it for a good price. I installed the engine today in the bare chassis. every thing went well till I got to the rubber block. there is a package of bolts and nuts still sealed and a piece of flat bar with two counter sunk holes but no yolk or what ever is supposed to be there. the directions don't have a picture of the rear mount. is this rear mount really necessary? if I knew what the yolk looks like I could probably fabricate one any suggestions.

Sounds like the engine hoist I bought off Craigs list. New, never assembled. Except -- there were no bolts to assemble it with. $70 later, I had it all put together!

A few years ago, I installed a FAM but the rubber block for the rear mount was too small and it fell out somewhere. Once it was gone, I had awful clutch shudder in reverse, so YES, it is needed. I ended up casting my own rubber block so it could not come out. No problem since.
It would be fiddly but I'm sure that you could fabricate one once you had seen a picture or better still, have a look at a club member's car with one fitted

yep! it looks like I got everything but the yolk. anybody got an extra one laying around? I know the guy I bought it from and I may try to contact him and see if it just got out of the box and may be still be in his stuff.
that might be hard to fab up.

my friend has 1 with bolts and rubber,he changed his back to original.all he has left is rear tranny mount

Re: float a motor
 

I would be interested, let me know more about acquiring it. I have everything but the yoke. every thing else was with what I got. can't understand why just the yoke is missing. I know the guys name I got it from if I can find his phone #.
