Default Chassisworks motor mounts

Is anyone using these? Could you give me the measurement from the passenger side head to the firewall?

I would be concerned with what headers this works with, how the engine is positioned front to rear, and what are the resulting driveline angles with these mounts. I am also not a fan of the poly mounts as they will transmit more vibrations into the chassis.

Look into the Holley system. It is engineered to use rubber mounts (but can be retrofit with poly), it takes driveline angles into account, has options for matching transmission mounts, and will work with the Hooker headers.

Yeah I have the holley setup currently but I cant figure out a way to get an A/C compressor to mount down low.

Have you considered using a 4th-gen F-body mount on that side of the engine and making a custom pedestal bracket to pick it up from the subframe? That would allow you to maintain all the compatible engineered geometry that you have now in your drivetrain and should allow you to install your low-mount compressor.

Notch the frame, or use the Holley high mount A/C brackets.

Notching the subframe is not an issue the problem is the motor mount is in the way.
