I do have a question for anyone who has a opinion. The way the A/C and Alternator are mounted to the Northstar the easiest way to mount the motor was to use the existing mount on the drivers side and to fab up a mount on the pass side. This makes the engine mounts stagggered. I was NOT planning on using any type of torque dogbone. I could add one if I really need it. Once I get the mounts finnished I will post more pics. Does anyone see any problems with the staggered mounts without a torque dogbone ?? |

The dogbone used in FWD transverse applications is more for resisting drive line torque (engine tq * gear ratio * final drive) vs. just engine torque. Since you are longitudinal, there is no need for a dogbone.
I like the finished look of you chassis stretch!

Thats kinda what I was thinking. A front engine rear wheel drive car only has three mounting points with no dog bones. I'll going to try it without a dog bone.

I got the motor mounts done and here are the pics. By the way, the header is the first one I ever built. I know the tubes are unequal length but getting to fit behind the original motor mount was a pain. I not trying to get every HP that I can but I think it will be better that the stock system. Next will be the other header then I will mount the engine/trans on the cradle hopfully for the last time.

I don't think the staggered motor mts. will be a problem. I do think you should use urethane for all 4 mounts instead of mixing urethane & rubber...
NICE work BTW.

Its a mix if old pics, new pics, and two different cameras. I don't think the date was ever set on the one.
As for the bushings, I will be getting urathane for the transmission mounts.
