When we ran a full service chassis fab/turn-key hot rod shop a number of years ago, it was always useful to have threaded things around to weld into the frame for some kind of mount, etc.
Here’s a list of all our threaded things for your reference:
Small/Big Block Chevy Motor Mount Kit for GM Insulators
This motor mount kit is engineered for those who need a sturdy, reliable solution for mounting small or big block Chevy engines using stock-type GM rubber or polyurethane insulators. Laser-cut from 3/16" pickled & oiled mild steel, these mounts are built to handle the rigors of high-performance driving while being easy to fit into almost any frame configuration.
Compatibility and Fit:
Designed to use the “short & wide type” GM insulators, this kit ensures the perfect alignment for your engine. The insulators have an inside width of 2-5/8" between the ears, securely resting on the pad surface as GM intended. For those looking for extra durability and a smoother experience, we also offer a premium Energy Suspension polyurethane insulator. In personal builds, polyurethane mounts have proven to outperform traditional rubber mounts, offering enhanced stability, reduced engine "jiggle" at idle, and less torque twist off the line.
Engineered for Strength:
Unlike other designs that rely on a tube and long bolt to support the engine, this kit features formed ears that directly cradle the weight of the engine, reducing stress on individual components. The laser-cut slit in the main plate makes forming and adjusting the mount to your preferred height simple, while the oversized gusset can be trimmed for added reinforcement, ensuring the engine stays secure under load.
Versatility Across Builds:
With clear, step-by-step instructions, this motor mount kit can be used to install a Chevy engine in a wide range of frames, from T-buckets to Ford F100s, or any frame with a width between 22" and 31" at the boxing plates. The kit is specifically designed with a 7" span from the laser-cut slit to the opposite edge, giving you plenty of flexibility for custom builds.
Kit Contents:
- 2 laser-cut engine brackets
- 2 trim-to-fit gussets
- All necessary grade 5 hardware, including bolts and nuts
