Mr P, it's just one of those things I've heard through the years. Limiters are on the bucket list along with "J" bars.

But you run a mid plate. If I did that I would break tail shaft housings.

I would never solid mount in 3 locations.. when the
chassis flexes something has to give.. and the tailshaft
is the weakest point

Indy block



On the stock block, I had to bush the hole in the block and notch the oil pan for the rod end to clear.

Jamie.. I've seen a few guys that made a bracket that
used 3 of the oil pan bolts and then to the K-member..
I believe they actually used studs(on the side of the pan)

That is how we did it. Captured 4 ARP pan studs with a home-made bracket and an S&W Racecars kit (chrome-moly tube, rod ends and tabs for K-frame). When we got the car it didn't have one and the trans mount was destroyed. Have this one on the car for the last 5 years and it seems to work great. Studs provide enough strength with no deflection.

My chassis guy built a bracket that bolts to the pan rail. Hard to see the bracket in this pic.

Hopefully the car doesn't do a Van Gogh number on me.

My KOS Demon has brackets on the frame (or K frame) for something like this. I did not get the motor attachments or connectors. Thanks for the pics. Any more?

Anyone fab up the motor side attachments or is that a unique deal?

Basically thats just a L of angle iron or alum angle type
of a deal... if you run it over 3 or 4 bolt holes on
the pan then the L of it hangs down with 1 hole in it
(the buld of the lower L side can be cut off and give
it a nice shape.. the lower hole will have a heim bolted
to it then forward in a thick wall tube or moly tube
with threaded inserts and a L welded to the K to
mount another heim also in the tube

Mine is just like the Plum Bad set up. Stock block. Works well and is very easy to install. Trans is on a rubber pad. So far...since 1986 no breakage.
