Didn't like what was out there so I built my own Tim. :rock:  These will let me drop the engine down 5/8" and let me move it back some. :D

Still got some work to do to them but these allow for more room around the mount and since the engine sits lower it should give more room for the headers.

My first project car was an NA Skyhawk and about every 4 or 5 months I had to replace the driver side motor mount. I finally put a chain on the drivers side so I wouldn't rip the motor mount apart and it worked. 1 after market one is all you need, or attach a chain or strap to the drivers side.

Thanks I want to stay away from the chain or strap I did the chain on a BB in the  late 70s I just remember the all the racket it made
Drivers side is enough,I just was thinking about the rear no need there

Driver's side poly is all you need.

He's in the frozen north so his motor mount won't break until the spring thaw, around June I believe. :icon_fU:

I'm out beating on my junk most weekends. Stock stuff works just fine, Just got my engine back from my builder for a freshening...a nd the heads reworked. Hoping to lay down a 6.7 next year...on stock junk.

I have never had a problem with stock mounts on cars in the elevens unless they have a lot of miles on them.  then I have seen stock engines with torn mounts.   I guess the secret is in finding a good quality mount.  I have seen more tranny mounts broken than engine mounts.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
