I basically welded them right to the frame rails of the car. There is a relatively large backing plate of 1/4" mild steel solid welded to the frame rail, then gussets made of 1/4" and 7ga mild steel holding the motor.

Compared to the stock mounts, this would probably hold a bridge.

Front Passenger


Back Driver. (you can see the backing plate in this pic)


Hmmm, who would have thought...

I hope the theory works well in practice.
