Re: GMC Frame Mounts
After reading other forums about the subject it seems the real race only guys like to use both a front plate and regular side mounts for I guess extra rigidness. So since the 6.0L block is iron I'm going to build my own that combines the two, side and front together. It will be made of steel since I'm sure aluminum would weld itself to the iron block over time.
I remember a racer once told me if I use a poly trans mount with the solid motor mounts it would be enough give in the system to last and it has. Its what I have on my El Camino which makes only about 486 HP at the crank and has been trouble free since 1996.
Getting back to the mount I will make it adjustable enough to go two inches either way and mounting it will be just 4 pieces of plate gusseted for strength with 2 half inch bolts.
