Solid engine mounts.....

[papsoldblue72]

Ok I need a little help I got a new set of factory mounts but I think the engine I'm putting together is just gonna rip them .... I have a friend that has had to replace his twice already... I think I need to switch mine out before I even put them in.... Has anyone on here used a solid mount if so what kind and where can I get them ??? All I can seem to find is a clamshell design and mine aren't made that way ....

Make your own or buy the aftermarket mounts drag racers use. Jegs, Summit or Speedway has them. Trans Dapt mounts are a good example but you will have to add a plate to your frame to mount them. You need to be sure you replace the transmission mount as well. You aren't going to like them!

Ok so any of them will work just as long as I get them for a small block 350 ??? Is this what I'm understanding???

I thought about it .... It just looks tacky I also thought about a turn buckle just to make it look better... I'm thinking I might just make a homemade front motor plate out of some scrap 1/4" aluminum plate and use the two bolt holes at the bottom front of the block....
