thanks for the good info.Schumacher. Interlockers.
Better hurry up and get it! Don't want that motor getting loose and try turning sideways in your engine bay!Just took the old girl out with the new 451 and rubber mounts (no torque strap yet). Man what a difference! Much less vibration, though it never bothered me. And boy does the engine rock and roll more... almost seems unsafe!
2227 and 2228 rubber motor mounts with torque strap.
This is what I did...after tearing two drivers side mounts!

What'd ya do there? The shumacher strap comes off their angled bracket off the motor boss. Can't quite see, did you eliminate the angle bracket and drill a new hole in the lower bracket?
Best get that strap put on. you will rip that new motor mount right in two...speaking from experience...............................MOJust took the old girl out with the new 451 and rubber mounts (no torque strap yet). Man what a difference! Though the vibrations of the solid mount never bothered me, boy is the difference noticeable. And boy does the engine rock and roll more... almost seems unsafe!
Beware ! on the newer ones, the instructions appear to be the wrong ones . Guess they try to cover several applications with the same instructions. Read thru and look at all the pics clear to the end of them. For my 64 Dodge, they were on the last page, and then we had to dieviate from them a little bit. I have power steering...............................MO
Well I was going to make my own until surfing fleabay one day, I see one for a E body, about half the cost of what they go for.
The early ones didn't have that bracket at the top and it was mounted straight on. I believe too many people with power steering were complaining about clearance issues so they added the angle and the bracket. I thought the early one looked better but it's no longer available.
If you notice, the K frame bracket changes between applications. The one I have has the standoff closer to the rear for E bodys. B bodys are normally toward the front. Different year K frames and engine mounts were more foward or rearward. So that determines how that bracket is made.
This one worked out fine for my '62. I bought a longer g8 bolt for the motor mount and made a bushing/spacer to keep things straight. I also used an extra jam nut on the adjustment sleeve.
