I am reasonably sure those were the ones I got for my 93 and they did not fit but I can't find the receipt. I know they were supposed to fit the 7.4

Scratch that because I got them from Summit so if Summit does not sell those then that is not what I had...Sorry.

I called Energy suspension last week and talked to them, these are the mounts for these trucks. They are tight in the shells and the shells need to be squeezed together via a vise and then use the big zip ties to hold them together till they are bolted to the frame, according to the instructions / pics.
I got the 1121's from summit also and they are just way to big to fit into these shells, they were the second ones down in my pics.

Been awhile, I still frequent the forum everyday, but haven't been posting much. I have made some progress lately and will be posting more pics along the way.
Block all cleaned up with new squirter main bearings installed.
Crank installed, not torqued yet though.
Custom machined / ported pre-cups, slightly larger then "diamond spec.
And last but not least, my own home brew of beast feedin' my DB4.

New rod bearings, HV / HP oil pump.
Mains all torqued, pistons / rods all installed.

I'll take that into consideration... or maybe Caterpillar yellow...
I also really like the "Bowtie only" on the engine stand mounting plate

Another lil update... got all this shit done Friday evening after work but ended up getting too drunk to do any posting... LOL
Pre-cups installed in heads.
New head gaskets installed.... the second time around.
HV / HP oil pump installed and torqued.
Heads installed and 5 step torqued to 125lbs...
Pushrods installed and rocker shaft assemblies re installed and torqued to 40 lbs.
I also have the gear drive timing set timed and installed. This thing is starting to come together for me quite well and I'm very happy about that.

I see some teflon lube/sealant on the studs/washers. Good practice for sure.
Teflon? I think? White?
Do tell.
Cheers.

Lubriplate engine assembly lube on the top portion / fine threads and black sillycum on the bottom portion / coarse threads that go into the block, to prevent coolant seepage of course.

Alright guys.... been a few minutes, but I have been having puter troubles and haven't been able to post in a while....
Anyhow, I just got back from an amazing trip out to Arizona and then up to Vegas to get married, have lots of pics, may post a few later. The good news now is, I am layed off for a couple months (the boss is gonna pay me cash to help him at his house on his projects), but I "should" have plenty of time to stuff my motor in the storage compartment where it belongs, and then start ordering some more shat for my truck... This biatch needs to be done before next summer.
