Is anyone using this bracket on the 4.9, swapped into an 88?
Does anyone know what bottom mount is needed, to work with this bracket?

Obviously, I can take everything apart and measure / eyeball. But it would be nice to know before I get hip-deep into my project.

Already did a search. Found nothing meaningful.

Thanks!

I have a Fiero that has an Archie 4.9 swap sitting in my driveway, did he use his own parts or source them out? I ask cause may i can take a picture of what I have in use compered to what you got?

I don't think Archie ever did a 4.9 installation. Most everything he did was a SBC.
With that said, if it's really a 4.9 - whoever installed it - I certainly wouldn't mind seeing how it's mounted. Interested in the bracket under the oil pan, and the rubber mount that it's bolted to. But please don't go to a bunch of trouble.

Ah. Cool. That's who did my initial install. Yours is probably just like mine.
I'm having to re-engineer mine, just a bit. Thinking about swapping Jon's bracket in, instead of the FF one.

Thanks, though. Much appreciated.

Whats the reason to changing brackets? The 88 cradle that different on the mounting?

Long story.
The short story is that it appears to not be sitting level.
I want to raise the "pulley end" of the engine, just a bit. I also don't like how close the pan sits, to the FF mounting bracket, and studs.
Been that way forever, but I'm doing some other stuff too, so I might as well do this, while I'm at it.

I remounted my 4.9 for the same reason, but I eliminated the mount below the crankshaft.
I have four mounts to the cradle, down low and no dogbone.

The front mount, behind the compressor, is likely no longer a viable option. At least not with the Deville bracket.
I have an Allante bracket on the way, Mounts a little differently from the Deville bracket. We shall see.

Used WCF front mount and a universal Energy Suspension poly mount. Its 4 point like Joes with no dog bone. .Trans mounts are Fiero auto. Brackets are just standard Caddy stripped of the rubber.
