Solid motor mounts

Hello all,
I have done some searching and can't seem to find any solid motor mounts for my 65. I have the stock type single bolt towers. Does anyone know of a company that makes them? Thanks for any help

You could always do a motor plate instead of solid mounts. Otherwise they wouldn't be hard to make for that type of mount.

Best pass with the old dragtruck:
5.32 @ 131.6 mph 1/8 mile w/ a 1.25 60' Fogger/Plate 2003

Best pass with the street 406 hydraulic roller motor w/ mild plate tuneup
5.93 @ 114 mph 1/8 mile w/ a 1.29 60' 2003 or 2004

Re: Solid motor mounts

I belive I bought that one from Barnett Performance in Atlanta, but Summit or Jegs carries them. Cost about a $100. They come as a big rectangle, but with the timing cover cutout and cutout for the waterpump. You cut it to the shape you want. They actually make them in several styles. I used a mid plate too between the motor and transmission, but I don't think I'd do that without a cage in the truck. I've had several friends run the motor plates only and never had problems.
