Aluminum motor mount from the original Gratiot Auto, Mancini LO29 dart. Later the Irish Rover. Being refurbed and headed back home to Detroit.

Were both mounts made of aluminum or just the one...any other interesting pieces on Mancini's old L023 Hemi Dart since they had a back door to Chrysler performance stuff...post some pics of the car.

Steel mount on the drivers side. Pretty basic car when the car won National event in 70-71. Super stock springs,no frame ties,bolt in roll bar, As with most of these cars that won the trickest part of the race operation was usually the driver!!

Has anyone else here ever seen or heard of any other 'odd ball' stuff from Chrysler, Ford, or GM...

I think the 1960s was the period of unbridled creativity on engines. Too bad this never made it to production. The intake ports look like a 318 port, except there are twice as many of them.

Bendix EFI circa 1958. Twin throttle bodies.

Yeah I remember that article on the old Doomsday Hemi motor...to bad they never made it into production.

AMC NASCAR cylinder heads

These have production casting number on them. These are unused, semi-finished as delivered. Ultra rare. I can't use them in Stock Eliminator but I can use them for Super Stock but it would take a lot of filling to have the proper specs. These will outflow & out perform modern Indy heads. You should pray I never have need to run these in SS!
