I mounted our's on the pan rail, but getting a straight shot to the K-member is not that important if running two bars (triangulated to frame) to the back or front of the block. The trans mount in our car was destroyed without a limiter. 5339548-IMAG0006-0002.JPG (83 downloads) 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion

A flat plate isnt very good to hold the load/G-force in the direction you are using it in.... great for vertical loading... but after time it may end up cracking.... the wider the spread the ears are the more it moves

No fun losing your coolant away from home in a siamese bore block. C I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"
