Hi Snoopy...There's two....But the 383 version had a single "foot"... Here's an old pic that Scott Smith had posted a few years ago from an original set-up...You can see the feet across from each other...

That's what I thought, but I couldn't prove it with any information I had available. When I bought the feet from Terry, he supplied 2 brackets and 2 feet but his instructions only showed the location of 1 foot. The parts book only shows 1 foot. Is the other foot located directly opposite the one I have shown in Terry's sketch?

I have an original that someone tore the feet off of at some point, but the old spot welds are still visible. I'll take a pic tonight when I get off work.

And I did find another pic of the original set-up that Scott Smith had submitted...I have this one listed as early 05 thread... It's my understanding that they are welded in the same location{on the base} 6-bbl and hemi but the secondary bolt-on pieces are different between them...

A little known fact is that the feet and brackets were actually scheduled to be deleted on the 440-6 shaker base for the 1971 model year. I dont think it actually took place on the date shown in this Fram print, but it may have at some time in production. This would account for the reason that a lot of NOS 440-6 shaker bases have no support brackets.

NO problem Snoopy... I believe most NOS 440-6 pak and Hemi shaker bases, which were actually just overrun for Chrysler's inventory, were shipped from Fram with no feet brackets installed. Because they carried a separate part number, you were expected to order them and install yourself.
