I am searching for Nicson marine hardware to install a Chrysler Imperial 392 HEMI engine.
Nicson rear engine mount (aquired used, eBay)
Rear engine mid plate (aquired used, from Chuck Taylor's HEMI store)
Nicson front engine mount
Nicson exhaust logs and elbows (aquired from Bobbo541 with risers)
Exhaust elbows donated by Sanger Pete (thanks a bunch!)

I was watching some hemi boat stuff on ebay. Both of these sold within the last week or so.
Stuff seems to be out there.

there's a boat yard in Rancho Cordova that has all kinds of stuff. I can't recall the name of it but email Oldsquirt, I'm sure he'll know. That is if you don't know about it already.

I watched those auctions. I was not familiar with the Cal Marine stuff and the Edelbrocks did not have the risers (snails).
I did manage to pick up some Nicson front and rear engine mounts, the rear engine mount was the piece that I was hoping was in usable condition for its age, but the holes for one of the stringer mounting adjuster plates were hacked up. Both stringer adjusting plates are Nicson, but they appear to be for a different year engine mount. The webs were ground down to clear some of the protruding features of the engine mount. The coupler was the only part that was not damaged by improper home machining. I wil have to see if I can repair the rear engine mount. The front engine mount was listed as being altered and would not fit into a restoration project. If I can't fix the front engine mount I will have to look for another one. I will have to be more careful of items offered on eBay.

The boat salvage yard is called shipwreck.

I found a set of Nicson exhaust manifolds at Chuck Taylor's without risers. Glenwood Marine has some risers that are made for the Chrysler wedge engine exhaust manifold they carry, They said that I might be able to adapt that riser model to the Nicson's. The flange is 4-7/8" diameter with a 3" exhaust outlet. The flanges are undrilled so that you can custom set them.
