Does anyone know the correct engine mounts for the subject Tucker. It has a Chrysler LH 318 industrial engine and a 5speed manual. The mounts on it now look like someone had stacked a couple of sections of track belts on top of each other. They look very home made. I would like to do something to bring it closer to being correct. I suspect Tucker repurposed Dodge engine mounts but that is just a guess.

My 1965 442a used to have a 318 in it..... but I'm not certain if THAT engine was original. NOW, it has a 1980-ish 250cu-in Chevy straight-six. The ski resort that used to own it might have put the 318 in it. When they sold it, I'm sure that the person who bought it only wanted the engine, and scrapped the carcass..... only for someone to salvage it and put the chevy engine in it.
The frame has been cut and welded so many times it looks like Frankenstein. I'm going to build a whole new frame, this summer..... I might be in the same boat as you, trying to figure out motor mounts.

metal strap mount with rubber belt pad, basically metal on metal, solid mount, no conventional car motor mounts
