Motor Mounts
Post by warthog on Jun 7, 2006, 5:09pm
I will be mounting a 427 tall deck in mine. I'm curious about a set of motor mounts someone had posted up. He has a 454 and they look like they are from Advanced Adapters, universal motor mounts. I had saved the pic, as I thought they were a great idea. However, how strong are they? Will they support the 427 being hammered on, not ride the street?

Basically, I'm doing a setup simular to Spicer's. Never seen his truck though. I've rebuilt my rockwells, have 3053a, have bellhousing, 44" boggers, picked up the 427 tall deck this past weekend. Next month will be mocking trans & engine in frame and need to figure out mounts/position.
Any suggestions on the mounts?.
Thanks, Dan

Barry ran those mounts (or similar) in his as I recall.
And, from what I've heard and pictures/video's I've seen, Barry wasn't the least bit kind to his trucks.
He had those mounts in his monster truck as well, which indicates to me they'd hold up pretty good to a beating.
Not first hand experiance, but hope it helps.

Those mounts will hold up to about anything, just be sure to use the real Advanced Adaptors mounts, not some copy cats like trans Dapt or something.

Here's a pic of the 'spicer mount' bolted to a 6.2.

Those spicergear mounts work beautifully. And you can build 'em out of scrap in about 10 minuites if you're slow. (like me)

'67-72 chevy pickup mounts work well and bolt to the stock frame horns. about $10.00 each at most parts stores. I would probably use a pointed stud in the frame mount side instead of a bolt for ease of alignment. These are what sisson used to put his tall deck in.
