Hello Joe,
I have a 66 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4 door and had a mechanic replace motor and trans mounts and the 330 small block raises and the fan hits the shroud with the slightest torque...it happens when I'm turning either direction from a stop with not much acceleration at all. Could the mechanic put the wrong mounts in??? Thank you for your help.

 

I would pretty much guarantee it.

 

I moved your post. This way you should get more folks to see it vs. resurrecting a 15 year old thread.

Did the fan move and hit the shroud before you took the car to the mechanic?

 

Thank you Joe for your help. Have a great week and enjoy your July 4th celebration with your family.

 

Thank you. I'm new and not sure how to navigate. Have a great day.

 

Hello Joe,
I mentioned the other day about mechanic probably putting wrong motor mounts in 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme because 330 small block moves under small amount of engine torque the fan blades hit the shroud with ease and have marred shroud. Can you please tell me what the proper engine mount is for this small block 330. I'm pretty sure i need engine mount #2261.
Thank you for your help and have a safe 4th of July with your family.
Jim

 

2261 IS the correct engine mount for your car

 

Assuming your car has the original frame pads, 2261 is the correct mount for ANY Olds engine in your car.

 

Thank you 66SportCoup and Joe Padavano.
