Re: 55 2nd serie GMC

Here the latest work on engine and tranny mounts.
A few months back I had the engine set up with late model mounts with clamp shell type bracket but i didn't like the way the engine sat. It was too low I had issues with tie rod ends touching the pan, p/steering pulley touching the steering box, so i decided to start all over. Fabricated the engine bracket as per the schematic i got from LS tech, bought new early style energy suspension mounts and solid frame bracket for early camaro.

I'm much happier with this set up now. Looks a lot more professional and it raised the engine about 3/4". I now have good clearance with the steering box and the tie rod ends.
