I have used several sets of Elepahant ears to mount B-RB and Hemis in 1967 and on A bodys, I have also used one of AndyF motor plate like you have to mount a blown Street Hemi in a 1971 Pro Street Cuda I use a piece of 1 inch x 1/4 or 3/16 inch thick angle iron welded onto the top of the frame rails and drill and bolt a 3/8 allen head fastener to hold them together My picture may not be real good as the motor is in the car the way I drive it, but here goes anyways BTW, it is hard to get it behind the frame tab but that is the way I run it, higher and further back

I set mine up in a double shear arrangement. The one in back is welded and bolted, the one in front is just bolted so the engine can be easily removed.




Where did you come up with these brackets or what did they start life as?
I like the idea of them being taller than the 2" tall angle iron I have.
They look to be 3/16" thick or so... The brackets I planned on using are 1/8" thick, but as I see most of you use at least 3/16 or 1/4" angle iron, which is probably what I'll end up using.
Thanks for all the help fella's!

I think those brackets are from Mancini Racing. MRE-1997 is the part number I have on my sheet.
