Engine mount carnage

A chain wrapped around the motor mount bracket and around the k member with a piece of allthread. Leave 1/8" play, no transmitted vibration and no broken motor mounts. Been doing this for 40 years, never broke a mount. I had a friend build a 68 GTS clone from a 6 cyl car. He paid dearly for an original 614 shroud. I told him to put a chain on it, he's a perfectionist, said that would look ugly. A couple months later, he called and asked me to watch for a shroud, he said-I wish I would have listened to you.
