Early cars including my 1464 had rear mounted ZF's only instead of the later side mounts.
These cars tended to snap the studs off of the rear of the ZF with heavy acceleration, which is how my car arrived.
The ZF is easily converted to side mounts with kits from Hall, IPSCO, etc. which is a much sturdier mount, and doesn't sacrifice the rear studs on the ZF.
Somebody should tell Chip the first time he gets on the gas really hard he risks snapping the rear studs on the ZF with a rear mount.
