Default ls1 torque strap/link

Does anyone make a ls1 torque strap/link? - I want a nice adjustable setup with (rod ends), no chains.

Thanks

I've never seen one... if ya just put poly motor mounts in that usually does enough for most people (stopping the motor from twisting too much).. and from my experiences, if ya need more then that usually it's time for a motor plate

Want a connection from the lower 10mm hole in the LS cylinder head to the chassis. Not interested in solid motor mounts, motor plates, turnbuckles, chains, etc..

FYI - I have your GTO master cylinder/adapter in my car. Quality appearance and fit, hard to find these days, thanks.

You can make one with a couple Heim joints and whatnot, it's going to transfer a TON of vibration to the car, as long as that's not a concern I see no reason you can't do it.

I've never seen anyone do it with an ls powered car, no reason that it won't work though, that's how people ran stuff for years.

LOL my first torque strap was a what is it called,a come along? One of strap deals with a buckle for securing cargo. I used to use it back in 98-01, never took pics. With poly motor mounts it's not as needed.

I am thinking to go back to rubber mounts on my car ,the aps kit came with poly mounts. I think the poly are giving me a lot of vibration especially at higher rpms.
I was thinking also to go to torque strap setup with comealong or something that would work but not transmit vibrations.So how was that comealong for transmitting vibs and did it work not bad ?

I think it transmitted more vibration. But I did this because the engine in my old Formula looked like it was going to jump out of the engine compartment.
