frame to SBC bolt in motor mounts
Guys,
I want to change my motor mounts to some kind that bolts to the frame, at the sides then to the engine. I had some weld in mounts but the welds must not have been good and they broke. Is there a good bolt in aftermarket type? The front of my frame is boxed. |

Re: frame to SBC bolt in motor mounts
what broke? what style did you use? need pics....
the fix could be as easy as taking it to a shop for welding i'm still a fan of weld in mounts. never had one fail, but i've seen some of those cantilevered kits that look like they'd fail. i welded a set of similar mounts like these into my truck way back before my latest remodel with the motor and body complete if you have a stock frame use 2 triangular gussets to the top and bottom frame lip  with a mustII it is easy to come off the x-member these are in my truk now

Re: frame to SBC bolt in motor mounts

Re: frame to SBC bolt in motor mounts
Take a look at Chassis Engineering for a pattern, did you box your frame?
