Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 63 airbag location pictures

not sure about the 63 but on the 67-72 you dont need an upper bag mount. it just bolts up to the frame.

Correct. These were made just tall enough to clear the airline fitting.

Re: 63 airbag location pictures

Yes. It's bolts in through the original coil retaining-bolt hole in the frame & doesn't require drilling any other holes.

Re: 63 airbag location pictures

Looking at the cup you made, could you have put the bag up against the chassis rail and the air pipe fitting inside the chassis rail and then et 1.5" lower ?
