G body guys, I need your help I need to find some motor mounts if John B can't come through. He's out of the country and I don't feel like waiting 2 months for motor mounts. What did you all use? Where can I find them? and how much? Thanks.

I made my own. got 2 pieces of 1/4 metal 4inches wide 8 long i think, used moroso solid mounts, drilled holes in the plates, mounted them on the engine and then put the engine where i wanted it, drilled holes in frame for bottom moroso mouts pretty easy. I didnt have to cut my pan either since i moved the engine back to clear.

As far as I know, only John B's mounts put the engine close to the firewall as possible and work very well with his oil pan mod. Most other manufacturers place the engine foward some, so you may have some clearance problems with the oil pan, not to mention headers. Might be worth you're while to google it and hope something comes up. I hope you can get it worked out man. And by the way, nice Monty

John B`s mounts put the motor ~5/8" forward of the stock SBC location if you measure off the bellhousing flange. This is as far back as you can push the motor before you have to cut and mod the heaterbox. I bought a used set of mounts off of a member who was parting out his 6.0L cutlass and they position the bellhousing in the factory SBC location. Because of this I had to remove the rearmost coil boss on the valvecover, cut the back of the coil bracket off and cut out a section of the heaterbox. The only nice thing is that the engine is far enough back to clear the stock f-body oil pan.
