I'm building a CMC camaro and getting ready to reinstall new motor. I have covette motor mounts and the original camaro ones. Which one , or should I get solid motor mounts to go in the car.
thanks Lee |

I custom made motor mounts on my 3rd gen (1/4" plate and custom tubes), welded them in place once I got the header spacing correct. I moved the engine back as far as I could without making the headers hit the frame (not to rules and don't give a shit) once that was done they are a permanent fixture to the crossmember. I am also going to put in a torque strap from the roll cage in the engine compartment to the head after I have some fun with the car. I am running a energy suspension trans mount that is poly and it seems to work fine so far.

You can even modify the firewall and subframes for exhaust clearance, just can't go THRU the firewall. Torque strap seems redundant if you are using solid mounts. |
