Wanted chevy 350 engine brackets

[tuloyuser]

Hi,
I'm doing a v8 conversion and I need the engine bracket that attach the engine to the mount.


Thanks,
John

I bought a complete kit from Advance Adaptors for around $125 delivered.

It came with new mounts, brackets and frame reinforcement plates.


Just a suggestion.

have the motor mounts

I actually have the mounts and the bob firestein adapters.. What I need is the bracket that bolts into the block and to the standard gm motor mounts.

Thanks

I thought the Bob Firestine system just required a stock motor mount. Like this:

Hi Miker,
Yeah, that is what I'm looking for I got these

which I believe bolts on to the image that you have.
Where do I get these? I looked at several autoparts stores like
kragen and autozone and they did not have them...

Thanks,
John

you got the earlier style mounts that bolt tothe x-member. you'll want to find some later mounts that bolt to the block.


did you look in the instructions for the engine mounting kit?

i think the mounts you need are for a mid 80s to late 90s gm car or truck. very common parts......

thanks orange45,
I did not get any instructions with the kit. I bought them over a year ago. I'm just getting more time these days so I figure I'll start the project again. I was told these are not replacable parts because they don't wear out. The suggestions I've been given was to go to the dealer or junk yard. I have the motor mounts its the piece that bolts to the block that I do not have.

Thanks,
John

not sure where you're getting your info, but i would'nt put too much faith in their opinion. any engine mount can/will need to be replaced sooner or later.

you need a mount, not a brackett.


i found these after a 20 second search:

Trans-Dapt Performance Products 9525 - Trans-Dapt Performance Engine Swap Motor Mounts - summitracing.com

Hey orangefj45,

Sweet these are what I'm looking for.
I swear I did do a search . Your search skills are way better than
mine.

Thanks again,
John

In looks like what you already have are the rubber/steel mounts so I believe that you need to buy the solid mount and not the stock replacement mounts. If the mount you have now is rubber (that's what I see from the picture), then I don't think you want to use another stock replacement rubber mount with the one you already have. The motor might end up being too "loose" with both mounts flexing. I might use something like this instead:

Moroso 62510 - Moroso Solid Steel Motor Mounts - summitracing.com

There are a number of them available so don't think this is the only one or this one will fit your application. I think the length of the arms is different so you should try to find out which one you need with the stock mounts you already have now.

Miker,
Good point about the flex issue.

Thanks!
John
