I checked on LIC website. They have what they call OEM units. I don't care about the price but I am wondering if anyone else has bought these units and how they compare to the original in fitting up. I took the car for its first run today and when I hit bumps in the roadway the transmission was moving. I could see it when the shifter jumped. Thanks for any help.

Well your lucky it hasn't hit the fan shroud yet. After replacing my fan shroud I installed new motor mounts but drilled them for 1/4-20 bolts. Used a thin self locking nut for . clearance to the block. Just cheap insurance and ​was fun to do. And I don't see how any restoration judge could ever see'm.

Hope this can help.

If you're not building an NRCS correct car, be sure to get interlocking motor mount pads. The originals just relied on bonding between the metal brackets and the rubber isolator. This was a serious design defect and resulted in a recall. Chevy would hook a wire rope cable between the drivers side of the block and loop it over the upper A arm shaft as a fix. That would restrain the motor under acceleration but it was a Mickey mouse fix. Later interlocking mounts solve the problem correctly.

Where would a person get the interlocking ones??? I assume that LIC is selling the equivalent of the OEM's. Is this assumption correct? Thanks.

I personally use solid Moroso motor mounts. The solid motor mounts also add stiffness to the front part of the frame as the engine is a tie between the frame sections.

Thanks. I'll look at them. Not sure I would need those for a street car but it probably wouldn't hurt. I don't do any racing with the car any longer so it is just pleasure miles on it for the future.
