Rear engine mount bolt help!
I'm running a 350 with a 4 speed and the original rear bell housing mounts and crossmember. Does anyone know where I could source the bolts for the rear engine mounts? I've looked at regular grade 8 bolts but they don't look the same with the 'nose' on them. Would like to find the correct bolt since as you can see, I have a bent one....
thanks.

If you straighten it go to an engine shop and get it mag particle inspected.

IF you are worried about cracking it (I doubt it will) put it on the passenger side (less load)... I have straightened many of those never had a problem

Re: Rear engine mount bolt help!
The pointed tip is just to aid in alignment and starting the bolt in the threads. You could always take a new grade 8 bolt and give it a little point like that on a bench grinder. Just thread a nut on first and use that to chase the threads after you grind the tip.

Re: Rear engine mount bolt help!
A buddy out west is sending me a set for postage which is super cool of him. Looks like I'm tearing ol'betty down.
Check my build thread for updates!
