Hey everyone just joined after getting my 1966 A-100 running after a 7 year slumber from blowing up the bent six when I was 20 .Took some time tracking down the trans, and mounts which arent quite right but right enough for the time being for yard movement. It is a bit rusty but will be going through a fun little transition so I can be driving it daily again (which the wife backs 100% ) But here a few pics I will try and get more as I go along with the project. Thanks for the look and look forward to making some new Vannin friends.

Nice to see another canuck joining in the vanning craze. Welcome to VV EH!. Nice looking Dodge you have there.

Kyle, welcome to the site!

Welcome!!!!

I see there is an aux. heater in the rear too. Can you get pics of that?

Hi Kyle and welcome from England

HEY THERE KYLE AND WELCOME TO VV

Welcome Kyle... hello from a transplanted british subject, now living in Santa Barbara, Ca. ( paradise on earth ).

Hey thanks for all the welcomes. I will get some pics of that Aux Heater and post them up. Rod I had notcied in your A-108 8 door post about the Drivers side mount being differnet. How different is it? do you have a photo of what it looks like? Do they fit anything else? The left mount on my van is the one that is funky and needed some shimming.

Great thanks for the link.

Here is something else on the engine brackets.
Terence Jimminy who is a long time member of the Yahoo A-100 group recently posted this. I have not confirmed this, but the guy KNOWS these vans.
I have found some very good stuff on the site. However, it is an old-style Yahoo forum and there are a almost 35 thousand posts to wade through to get the info.

In numerous postings over the years ... we mentioned/instructed members
that:
A. The Left /6 frame Brkt can be made into a Left V-8 Bracket
B. The Right /6 frame Bracket is similar to the V-8 Bracket except the ONE
INSULATER HOLE IN IT just has to be redrilled
C. The engine block side brackets are actually 2 Right side A-Body 65-66 V-8
brackets

welcome to v v !

Awesome thanks a lot Rod that is some great info.

welcome to v.v. is your issue with the engine mount or the tranny mount

Nice van! I'm digging the lynx on the cabinet door!

I'd bet $3 there is at least 1 plastic baggy from the 70's hidden in that cabinetry!

Everything but the drivers side engine mount lines up. After reading the links Rod posted the 360 mount is a bit more forward. I will snag some more pictures of the interior lots of animal cabinets and padded red vinyl. thanks guys!
