Hey guys. Picked this trans am up with a 5.3 in it already. I’ve been working out the kinks. and came across this...... is this right? Doesn’t seem to be to me. There are just studs that go thru the plate on the motor to mount on the cross member

 

3 or 4 nuts and bolts hold the mount to the frame k-member.
4 bolts hold the aftermarket plate to the block.
3 hold the clam to the aft. plate.
Through bolts retain the clam to the mount (I can't see yours in the pic. All else seems correct?)
I prefer the Spohn mounts / 4th gen mounts @ the block.

 

Ok that was my question. I wasn’t clear enough. There are bolts that go thru the aftermarket plate but there aren’t any nuts on them. Wasn’t sure if that was right or not. I thought there would be nuts on them.

 

Looks like the plate is threaded and the bolts screw into it.

Not sure there's enough room in there for nuts.

 

No, there isn’t any room. I’ll have to get in there and see.. just seemed odd to me. thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it

 

The plate is threaded, no different than using a nut. I have plates that as essentially the same

 

Ya that would be the same thing haha. honestly I didn’t think of that. I thought they just put the bolts through the holes and called it a day. Haha
