V8 motor mounts

[green40]

Need some ideas and pics for homemade motor-mounts
for a V8 conversion. What have people done?

made a plate that bolts to the engine mount holes. had a crossmember mounting set from ruffstuff, basically a bushing, sleeve, and two tabs. Welded the tabs to a plate on the frame and welded a tube to the plate I made for the engine with the bushing inbetween.

I was looking thru the Ruffstuff site last night and pretty much
came up with the same basic idea.

Hey Lane, I did a little more traditional mount using GM motor mounts, I think they were $12 a piece. My motor does sit low in the frame though.
Do you still want some help to do your carb this winter?

Yup on the carb. Pretty sure I'm going to go with a set-up like PinkTaco has. Looks to
be the simplest way to go, and with my limited fab skills thats good. : (

I had the advanced adapters set up and it worked well, little pricey but simple and gives you adjustment.

Downey has the same set-up, bit cheaper tho.

You can get them real cheap through Jegs too.

Jim Downey is closed as far as I know.
He still has some stuff, but the business is closed.
That's a real bummer, I think it happened last year.

He still sells a lot of stuff on ebay.

After looking at pieces needed to build my own I wimped out and just bought
the Downey mounts. Price difference was minimal.
