Response to re mounts 57 fe

The c mounts should work fine. I drilled and installed two grade 8 bolts through the center of the c to keep them from splitting the rubber. They are pretty much solid mounts now.

My z bar was tricky to install. The bronze bushing halves are a bitch. I had to elongate the holes on the block side z bar bracket. The headers get in the way. I learned some new four letter words installing it.

I think the sway bar may not fit with the t pan. I am not sure. Try installing the bar after the engine is in. More four letter words on this operation using a heavy duty 1" sway bar. I used the canton deep sump on my 428.

Best of luck to you. let me know if I can be of assistance.
