I have attached a pix of the "standard" torque strap that we have all seen. I have one of these on my motor. My motor still has stock "rubber" motor mounts and even with the torque strap the motor still "flexes" or "torques" up on the drivers side quite a lot when I rev it up.
I need to put in a motor plate or steel motor mounts...but...question is:
Has anyone ever used a similar torque strap BUT from the top of the frame up to the open lug on the drivers side of the water pump. I saw one on an old 63 Plymouth super stocker but I have concerns about the motor flexing enough where it might just break the front off of the water pump...any thoughts...or has anyone one seen anything like I am talking about ?
