See the chain on the driver's side of the engine? I had a 64 galaxy with a 289 three on the tree that would wheel hop horriably and I did the same thing to mine back in 1969 to keep it from breaking motor mounts.
We have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 (1%) API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs/Injection and tank clean and rustfree!
wish I hadn't, but I sold it 'cause I was short of cash. It IS a factory 4spd 390 wagon. The 390 was shot when I got it, I bought a 428 CJ from my neighbor, found the tri-power and shorty headers on ebay. Took a year or so to put it together, and never got it finished! Peace to you,
