Looking for advice on engine mounts

[tmoretta]

The Impala strut is not a bad idea, but it will not keep the front of the engine from lifting 2-3 inches in first gear. Something must be fashioned (engine torque brace) to control engine movement. I am building a torque brace using a GM trans. mount above the alternator. Pictures will follow soon.

I just ordered some harder rubber trans and motor mounts. I was thinking of putting the dog bone from the air conditioner compressor bracket to the firewall. I'm going to hold off until I see what you do with the gm trans mount.
