1971 Engine mount concerns.
I have a 1971 C10 SWB. I am concerned about engine mount stands. I had a 68 Chevelle that had same type of setup. I had problems with this type of factory setup. Broke a couple bell housings before working problem out. Engine is BBC 400 Turbo. I ended up going to solid engine mounts on Chevelle it cleared problem up.
I would like to hear from those that solved this type problem or what you have done to avoid this problem. Engine is around 600 HP. What setup has served you well? I also will be running headers. Thanks Blue Rat Last edited by Blue Rat; 06-29-2017 at 10:41 AM. |

Re: 1971 Engine mount concerns.
Use the 73+ style.
You need the frame stands, mounts, and cups that bolt to the block. I'm not a fan of the old style flat mounts either.

Re: 1971 Engine mount concerns.
the solid motor/tranny mounts are more likely to brake your engine or your transmission than factory rubber mounts.
the rubber ones get old and can separate so should be inspected and replaced the factory had a recall on motor mounts in the early 70's. many owners never followed through so its possible that your failed motor mounts might be one of those. |
