No matter what the build plans are, one thing is for certain, most owners are quick to ditch the original inline-six workhorse for the tried-and-true performance and looks of the Gen 1 small block Chevy V8. While it is true that the small block Chevy V8 will bolt up to the inline-six frame mounts, it is far from an ideal solution in most cases. You see the inline-six frame mounts place the SBC engine too high and too far rearward. This can cause driveline angle issues, transmission to tunnel issues with larger modern overdrive transmissions, and is especially problematic for the small block Chevy's rear of block distributor location. Upgrading to GM's HEI-style distributor is nearly impossible when placing a small block Chevy in the engine bay using inline-six frame mounts in the stock location, as there simply isn't enough room between the rear of the SBC V8 and the firewall.Lastly, there is the issue of most tubular headers interfering with the large, stamped steel inline-six engine frame mounts as well. Even some low-mount alternators or front accessory drive setups may interfere with these stamped frame mounts. A C10 engine mount bracket that provides the strength and correct mounting points required in a smaller, low-profile package. Laser Cut, Press Bent, And Welded for Strength and Precision Fitment. Stampings get their strength from bends and angles formed in the stamping process.
This is why a stamped frame member is stronger than a flat sheet of steel with the same gauge thickness. However, this comes at a cost, with that cost being the overall size of the stamping. This is not an issue with an inline-six engine, but once you add a V8, having a smaller frame mount bracket is necessary. Our C10 small block Chevy frame mount brackets start off as sheets of 7-gauge steel (that's 3/16-inch). This steel is precisely cut via laser to produce the smallest and lightest part possible, bent on computer controlled benders, and then fully welded for increased strength and given a satin black powder coat finish that provides long lasting looks and corrosion protection.
Additionally, these can be used as'67-'72 C10 motor mounts for these year GM SUVs that share frame components, including the Blazer, Jimmy, and Suburban models. The brackets include new 3/8-inch grade 8 mounting hardware with nylon locking nuts and 7/16-inch through bolt hardware to secure your C10 motor mounts to these brackets. All you need to finish the job is a set of C10 engine mounts (we highly recommend the Prothane SBC Motor Mounts for small block Chevys) and a motor mount to engine block SBC Motor Mount To Engine Block Bolt Kit.Slotted mounting holes in these TorqLinkT motor mount brackets provide room for frame manufacturing tolerance stack up for a true bolt in conversion with no grinding or cutting required for installation.
