Default RE: fpe 5.8 with the shakes...

I would like to know how running an engine on a steel plate mount will wipe out the bearings
Where do some of these things come from ?
Anybody ever see it happen ?
When Walker Machine started making 4.2 Sachs conversions they ran a 4.2 for 1000 hours full throttle 24/7...Only part with out of tolerance wear was the piston rings...I very much doubt they bolted it to a 2x6...
I know the mechanic (Carlos Gregada) that put the Walkers together, I could find out what the mount was made of....
