So I can use the the stock sized bracket on the motor.

Like these bushings and sleeves.

Or these

What size are each of those? And btw, what size is that crossover tube?

Sorry I'm no help, I'm looking for the same info. :doah:
 
Not sure I understand what your asking.

Do our fab sets fit in a stock block side engine mount. No. they don't.

If you want to fab your own comp poly motor mounts or crossmember or what have you, you really don't need a greasable fab set. That would be an order to call me for on Monday and we'll set it up.

by the way, comp poly motor mounts look different than that. So does, the first gen engine cross. Guess I need new pictures on the website. EDIT: function is the same but beefier and easier to use.
 
I am wondering if any of those bushing kits fit in between these

Looks like I'll be calling you, essentially what I need to make is the first gen crossmember but a little different. I just need the bushings. I think they seem better than using a stock style engine mount.
 
damn Kert is the man. Answers questions in the garage when others don't even answer there own threads :bow:

Sorry, no idea.

They appear to narrow but hard to tell from the photo. Do you have a set of those? How much material is around the large bolt holes? What size bolt hole?
 
Heres what I'm going to mount the bushings on

Essentially what I need is this. I don't need the engine brackets if they are 2.5" wide but if they are a different width I would need to get those from you also.

I just realized that poly bushings for 52's are 2.5" overall

That will be perfect.

the steel busing is 2.5" just like the spring, however, the polys bring the assembled width to 3" total.

The piece in my photo that you have dimensioned is 3" + a hair - 0 on the inside.
