Default Big Block Motor Mount recommendations

Hi Guys,

I'm still pulling all the parts together for my engine rebuild. I have most of the components and hope to be assembling soon.

I will be placing another order with Summit shortly and would like your recommendations for a set of motor mounts to fit my 73 454.

Thanks for looking
Ian

When I pulled out my old 427, I used urethane locking mounts for the engine. The old rubber ones had melted from the exhaust and engine heat on the BB.

The urethane have reduced the engine roll considerably too. I got them at the local parts store for like $50 US.

I went solid (steel) mounts, with rubber trans mount. No regrets, it may even help with frame rigidity. Ron B.
