Universal motor mounts for a 350 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Can anyone suggest some decent, inexpensive universal type motor mounts for a chevy 350? I am swapping in a 350 in my 88 Toyota and need some sort of motor mount. I'd like to be able to mount it anywhere I want. I'd like to keep the trans in the stock location if at all possible, or move it back in inch or so.

What do you think about these mounts.....

Looks like it would be easy to mount, but do you think that one bolt mount deal would be strong enough? My 350 will be a stock type build, no more than 250hp.

I've seen some round bushing style mounts out there. Where can I get a cheap set of those?

Thanks!

Get the Advanced adapters YJ 350 swap mounts, Similar design just much stronger

AA mounts are twice as expensive as the trans-dap mounts. They look to be about the same.

those that you posted are just L shaped, the AA ones have bracing on the side, along with a better bushing. Don't ask for help and then complain about it. Remember you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the help guys. I found these mounts from http://www.diy4x.com/engine.htm

I bought just the engine brackets, bolts, and bushings as shown for $50, and I'm going to fab up the legs and frame mount using some square tube and plate I have laying around.

Here's the mounts on a tube buggy. Mine will be the same except I will have square tube instead of round from the mount to the frame.
