Which Motor Mounts
Need to order some motor mounts from Oreilly so I can get it tomorrow. Anyone know the correct mounts to order for a 1968 C10 that has a 70s model 350 engine going into it. I see some, but they have short ones, long ones....just want to make sure I get the right ones. Thanks.

Re: Which Motor Mounts
Check summit racing. You can get some polyurethane mounts for a good price. Just call them and ask what you need, if they sell the wrong ones you can send them back on their dime but they've always been correct when I ordered them. I have a set On my Blazer and Chevelle and they fit perfect.

Re: Which Motor Mounts
Just a grade 8 bolt will be fine, not sure what the center bolt size is but probably a 3/8

Re: Which Motor Mounts
Center bolt is a 7/16 size.
Clean the threads and run the bolt in a few times before you install the mounts to the block. Usually there are rubber boogers down inside the threaded holes on the new mounts, and trying to work the bolt into a cruddy hole from underneath the frame stand with your fingertips brings the suck for even the most patient of men. It's much easier to clean it out while you still have it in your hand. |

Re: Which Motor Mounts
Thanks for the info. On the 3/8 bolts that screw into the engine block, would 1 inch be to long? I couldn't find anything shorter?

Re: Which Motor Mounts
Going from memory here, 1 inch will work with a good thick washer. I usually get my 3/4 inch long bolts from Tractor Supply. They sell them in bulk, priced by the pound. You can buy and many or as few as you want easily.

Re: Which Motor Mounts
Thanks, I'll try that. Think that would cause any header fitting issues?

Re: Which Motor Mounts
X2 on tractor supply...they sell grade 8 & grade 5 by the pound. I buy all my hardware there & you pick it out yourself, don't have to wait for a salesperson.
