Where did you find those rare gems?
What size are they?
Great stuff for great cars! Poly engine mounts and bushings at: http://www.polybushings.com
They are 15"x8 , fronts and 15x 9 rears. They ran 225 /15 all 4 corners.
Those are from the deepest darkest recesses of the worst container at Rossion
They were on the factory race cars.

225's on a 9" rim??? going for the Hella Flush look? seems like too narrow of a tire for that rim width IMO.
225 -8" , 9" look at how much rubber is on the road.
Look at the hammer head same deal
This one is 205 on 8's , 225 on 9"
Standard racecar deal. Maximize contact patch with road.

three piece wheels? Magnesium? Holy moley. I'm a bit jealous. I can't wait to see the finished product.
I have 4 Revolution wheels in the 8 inch wide I have autocross tires on.

If you could take some pics after they're installed I'd love to see the tire-wheel sidewall ratio you end up with.

Mine are Revolution wheels but are a one piece design.

Nice, jealous here too. Those are way cooler than anything made recently could be.
I had 14" 1 piece revolutions years back. Strong & light wheels, wish I kept them..

Thats why i am a hoarder. Todays trash tomorrow's treasure. Or as my wife thinks - tomorrow's trash too.
This from a rotten box at Rossion.

Started pulling apart Suspension on the red race car.
Couple quick differences to note - the a arms front and rear and the rocker arms are all aluminum. They do not have typical rubber/poly bushings. The are sleeved metal bearings. All points are hard fixed to eliminate any slop, surprisingly the motor mounts are not solid , i am debating going to a solid mount , or go with johnny's poly mounts. and it maintains the stock bobble strut.
Stock on the right , aluminum on the left , next picture stock, last picture from race car.
Weight on aluminum with the bearings and bolts is still lighter then the stock rocker alone.
Brakes are stock but have all stainless lines. Master cylinder is stock.
Steering rack is a quick turn limited turning radius non-power rack.
Some of the race cars have straight cut gears , but i have no idea about that yet.

The door hinges are like the series 2 , double hinges but they have been machined to remove as much metal as possible.
It appears the cage is chromoly due to wall thickness.
More pictures to follow.

You'll be happy with Johnny's mounts. I have them on few of my cars and they eliminate 95% of the engine movement but still allow a little bit of give to keep vibration down over a solid mount. Plus way easier to install than fabbing up solid mounts. I have a set for my consulier but it will probably be a year before they get installed.
