Vibration will do that over the years. A radiator repair shop will tidy that up, bit of black paint it will look as good as new. Its not uncommon to see broken engine mounts on a car of that age. They are probably the original mounts.

OK thanks for your comments, Vibration is definitely a culprit for sure, so then changing the radiator inlet hose is on the hit list of replacement parts anyway. I could not believe on how the front of this car was constructed so solid with a rad support bracket mounted on rubber of a sort but air inlet shrouds that are bolted to the rad support are not and neither are inside fender wells nor the fenders, So I agree that vibrations is a definite problem to resolve on the build.

Thanks very good point.

When I took the body off my 50 Chev and Puddle Jumper I replaced the old fabric body and radiator mounts with rubber. Got them cut locally for about $30.00.

Dale:
The rear motor mounts on Cdn. models with std. transmission are usually different than US ones.
They used the carryovers from Chevrolet.

This supplier has a lot of good chassis and misc.(Chev.) parts that fit our cars.

Hey Murray

Thanks for the link, the 239 is such a tall engine, and really can produce a fair amount of low end torque 178 ft pds @ 1200 rpm, so there is quite a bit a strain these side mounts.

Thanks
