Mcleods, Lakewood, anything cheap/used/SFI rated. Get offset dowel pins and dial it in.
Mcleod on the clutch is a good call. Centerforce sucks weenies.
Solid Motor mounts help strengthen the chasis. Rubber on the tranny mount.

I might have my energy poly trans mount... I'll look for it.

Word. FYI, 94cobra69ss396 will be fabbing up a crossmember, trans and motor mounts. Maybe your poly mount can be adapted???

Those are NFG. They break tailshafts. Solid motor mounts, rubber in rear. The torque needs some give there.

It's a universal mount for Ford and GM transmissions, so it would work. But if Bird says it's NFG, it shall remain in my parts pile. I ditched it simply because it added too much height, and my yoke would tap the tunnel during hard braking.

Since we'll be making solid mount mounts we are going to want use a rubber transmission mount. The drivetrain has to have some give somewhere or it'll break the trans.

Instead of solid motor mounts and rubber trans, I was thinking Delrin all the way through, motor, trans, pinion. Please advise. Derin is very strong and rigid, but has just enough compliance to keep metal fatigue and stress failures from emerging. Gods willing this car will make hundreds and hundreds of passes. I'd like it to be durable as can be (after we blow up the rear end maybe.  ). My understanding is that most serious modern draggers have gone away from solid mounts.

Just stick to solids with a rubber tranny mount. Your going to break alot of stuff, but not those.

I agree. I've been running solid Moroso motor mounts with the stock trans mount for the last 14 years on the Chevelle and I just finally had to replace the trans mount. |
