doing an LT1 swap and accidentally forgot to take the motor mount engine bracket off of the car before i took the donor car to the shredder.

1) need the part the connects from the engine to the motor mount. i think its called a motor mount engine bracket but i'm not sure.

2) does anyone know where i can get this part at a reasonable price?

 

If your doin this LT1 swap into 3rdgen that had a V8 you reuse your motor mounts

 

The part that was on the engine itself of course!!!!!!!!

 

i am reuseing the mounts. when we took the motor out, we couldnt get to the bolts for the motor mount because of the car was in a collision that impacted one fender and pinched stuff a little bit. However, we could take out the bolts at the engine. So, we did and lifted the engine out. Then i forgot to take off the bracket and mount when i threw away the donor car.

yes, the mounts will work but the brackets that go from the engine to the mounts wont. That bracket costs $109 new. Would like to find a cheaper part. Tried salvage yards in nebraska and colorado and they suck for carrying 4th gen parts.

 

I meant reuse the metal mounts from your 86 and bolt those to the block

 

it doesnt work. it flips them upside down.

 

Your 86 have a V8?

 

well its possible to put them on but is it safe or right?

 

yes 86 was 305 V8. The metal mount has 3 bolts. i dont know which way is right but on one motor 2 bolts are up high and one down low. On the other V8 1 bolt to up high and two down low.

 

Let me look at mine in morn and Ill let you know exactly what to do tomorrow.Sound good?

 

yeah sounds good
