Need to source a engine limiter kit What do you guys suggest for a semi-customizable kit?
I've seen some that use the oem motor mount location and some i've seen that utilize 1 bolt hole on trans or block which one is better and please feel free to post links i need to order a set for the Supra thanks!
Something low-profile like this would be great with the 4bolt pattern of the lsx

AEI has a nice one but you probably can build it yourself, simple plate to mount to engine, piece of rod with a heim on both ends, heim tab/mount on frame rail. Pretty simple really.
As for what design is better the more bolts in the block the less stress on one spot... do you need 4 no, 3 would probably be enough to be fine if you're space limited, lon as you put one on both sides I think you're fine. Don't overthink it too much, I would get everything done first and make these last wherever they will fit.

You want to use one on each side of the engine to minimize twist. Normally a joint single shear mounted is good enough to do the job as the forces on the limiter are not huge.
Give us a call, MWC has all the right parts for your needs and great prices!
I just recently tore my truck down for maintenance (had one limiter on the right side) and there were obvious things going on (bad things) due to the motor actually twisting. Not twisting around the crankshaft, but twisting in a way that the left side of the motor was going backwards in the chassis.
