<VV> 64 transmission mount story

[Daren Kershaw]

I replaced all of the mounts at the rear, but my engine still leans to the
left.

Mine is a 64 vert as well.

Somebody said it is common in the 64, and that the best way to fix it was to
take the trans mount off and weld up the bolt holes that the trans uses and
drill some slightly higher on that side.

I am working on a very nice 64 convert. I have done a ton of work on just
about everything on this car. I should write a book , but I type with one
finger!
 The latest was after reinstalling the powertrain that I rebuilt and
detailed , it did not look level at the forward corners of the shrouds. I
installed a new transmission mount on the LOW side. It did not look bad ,
but I had never seen a mount go bad being too long. Looked the same!. So I
put 2 new  Clark's mounts in. Problem is fixed. The bad mount must have been
that way since  new , plus there is a strange dent mark in the curved area
of the forward  "firewall" flange from the motor? The bad mount is obvious
when compared to a  new one, being almost 1/2 inch too long . I was
surprised it had not dropped  down , but no signs of ever separating.
I am fairly sure all parts are original on this car. I sure wish it could
talk...
