you should do a mk2/3 style FRONT enging mount as well. Arnold has done a couple and i know others that have. its always good to have a 4th mount.

if you tards want to mess with some knuckles i have a spare set. they are kind of beat but i will never use them.

Already on it poopcicle.

Thats one of the other tricks we are going to do. This week we shoudl have it completed. Basically we are building a bolt in frame horn connector, that will run across the inside font of the horns/stock core support mounts. off that some tabs to connect an adjustable tie rod from the frame thing we are making up to the motor block, maybe get luck and use some of the unused threaded bosses in the block already, as long as nothing is in the way (intake, charge pipes, IC core, etc.)

that way if you look at the side view of the engine mounts, it would be like a Z with 4 points. Dog bone is the lower, motor/trans mounts the middle of the Z (allowing it to sorta rock fore and aft) and the tie rod I am talkign about above the top line on the Z. can i picture that?

What knuckles are you talking about?
