Comanche SS Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Double post today, but got the engine sitting in it's custom mounts. They need some attention and bracing still. But a good foundationSent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche SS Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm tingling inside.Never did I think I'd be building a Comanche that has a Meth injected & Supercharged LS, long travel beams, in my own garage. This is a gratifying moment for me.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche SS Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 88$ and an hour with a persuader made these eBay headers fit like a glove.Motor mounts still aren't done so don't judge them LOLSent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 So are the motor mounts "solid" or will ther be torque twisting to accommodate for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche SS Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 So are the motor mounts "solid" or will ther be torque twisting to accommodate for? No they have a poly bushing, same with trans. There will definitely be motor movement. See my next post for header clearance which is what I'm concerned about...Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche SS Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Got the headers persuaded into place for good. Have as little as ~1/8" in some areas that I'm concerned about. But if later on I see that I need to clearance more I will, I'd rather do only what I have too than too much..Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
