I used the factory fluid filled motore mounts initally, then made a bracket that bolted to the left cylinder head, and ran a chain from it to a clevis mount in the K member. This worked fine for a temporary solution to the weak motor mounts.
I read where mn12technologies had some very Heavy Duty ones, and they were light weight also. After doing some research, I decided that in my application, I would go with 2 of these, since strength is key on mine. I ordered them last Friday, and had them on Tuesday. I Read the install instructions, and headed to the garage about 10:00 this morning. At 12:15 I was done. These are top quality mounts!
Testing will take place as soon as we have another warm up in the weather.
The mount on the left is the MN12Technologies mount, which are billett aluminum, with a very hard polyurethane core. The one on the right is the factory one, which is heavy steel with a liquid filled center.
You can see how easy it is to get at the motor mounts on my carburated engine in the pictures below.
The drivers side is a lot easier also, with out the A/C and hoses in the way. You can
also see the new steering shafts and joints that were needed for good headers. The
Long Tubes will go in soon.
