Poor Mans Motor plate

[496dart]

I made these up with crap laying around in the garage . A little cutting and welding........and a cost of $0 .
I have the Schumacher stock style mounts in my dart--and the engine definitely shakes around left to right---not REAL bad ...but i thought these will help .

The drivers side is a turnbuckle deal that i welded solid.
Passenger side is just a bracket i made from 1/4" steel --bolted to the block.

Make fun all you want........but some of us are low budget racers ! :iconbigg:


Hope this helps new a body / BB guys...

I'd suggest you find an different ground point for your cable. That turnbuckle could work loose with the up/ down movement of the engine, and "leave ya hangin' "
