I had a lot of choices when it came to
picking a timing cover and the plain chrome steel ones just didn't seem
to do it for me. I went with a polished aluminum piece that is thicker
then steel and for a good reason. The cam I will be using wants to ride against
this cover and the steel ones are so thin that I thought they would
flex. This one shouldn't do that because if the cover did flex, timing
would move back and forth and we don't need that.

Notice how thick this timing cover is.
With all the heavy pieces I'm using in my car you would think I'm
building a tank. It also came with bolts, gaskets and front seal (which
goes around the front of the crankshaft so it won't leak).

These are engine mounts that bolt to
the side of the block. I had a lot of choices for these to but went with
Energy Suspension. They even come in red but I didn't think that would look as good
when I got done painting the engine.

The black is a Polyurethane material that
is better than rubber because it isn't affected be sun or fluids like
gasoline or solvent. The rear piece is not a spacer and is required to
be used because of the recess on the back of the top piece, the rear
piece sandwiches the two together.

To hold the engine in place we have some polished
stainless steel bolts. These are rated at 170,000 psi like some of the
other polished ones are.
