I have made mock ups of the motor mount brackets I need (going from the block to mounts). I belive that 1.8" steel should be strong enough, as it was the same thickness used in the 2.8 brackets. Do y'all think this will strong enough for the 3800, or beef it up some? Pics as son as I find the links to them.

Also, what are going rates to have these fabbed up?

 

.125 is pleanty strong

 

having brakcets made, should be done friday or saterday. I'll post pics for everyone. Gona be most likely the 1/8" thick metal w/possible double thickness in areas for strength.

 

Got the brackets, $80 & worth it.

Pass side

yeaf, not painted yet, but made sure they'll fit block & mounts. Then gonna prime & paint.

 

why did you have to get a set made? wouldn't factory piece work?

 

The 2.8 brackets used on the 3.4 weren't wide enough & of a stamped one peice design. As far as the 4th gen brackets, .....well.....



slight size difference
