My Lord, why are so many folks PARANOID about Float-A-Motor mounts?? Like, the rear end stops & the body keeps going! the front axle comes back under the car, the motor goes sideways??? Where do all these "stories" come from, and don't blame it on the wives. If all these were true, modern cars would have iron motor mounts. Float-A-Motors are great & quiets a Model A sooo much. On my '30, I had them in the front & rear, and it was so smooth & quiet! At 65 MPH the motor just hummed along so nice, smooth, & quiet! Bill W. (Geez, hope we don't get into motor oils again also, some OLD threads just get WORN out!)
