Best Place to Buy Motor Mounts For my 383 Formula S.

1969383S, can you post a pic of your driver's side mount?
I get what you are saying, but the Schumacher driver mount has 2 studs on each side that do not appear to line up, so it is a little crowded already.
I did put a chain on the driver's side at some point, with the same result on the passenger mount. This last version has a bolt through the passenger mount, and a chain on the driver side, the driver's side mount is sliding apart/down.
Mancini has the MagMount, basically a rubber mount with a flat head bolt through it, but not for BB a-bodies.
The pic is the poly-loc cross section. In my experience it runs in the wrong direction, which is why the compression force makes it slide apart and the motor sinks. They are also not fun to drill through.
I'm still leaning towards solid mounts, just thinking that would put an end to this issue.

Yes the bottom studs through K are in line, but the top studs are offset. My mount always installed on the K with the studs down to the bottom of the slots. There is plenty of room at the top of the bottom K slot to run a bolt up through the mount and top plate. You can see where it comes out the top in the first pic, pretty much in the center of the assembly. Course I have a nos mount installed after resto but this is the hole from before. Second pic is just to show how the K studs align to the bottom of the 2 slots. If I had a stick car that bolt would still be installed regardless! My auto does not see the stress it used to due to my tameness and limited desire to stand it up on the rear hides! Just every now and again!
