With big horsepower motors (900+HP) what are the opinions for needing an engine limiter strap that limits the rearward (if any ?) movement of the motor at launch ?
Such as a "turnbuckle" utilizing a length of mild steel or chromoly tube with heim joints on either end attached to a "bracket" of some sort on the K-Member or frame and the other end to the block such as the one sold by Jegs described below....
Engine Limiter Kit; Incl. 0.75 in. Dia. DOM Steel Tube; 2 Chassis Tabs; Rod End; Engine Mounting Tube; Instructions; Fabrication/Welding Req.; Universal• Mounts diagonally between the engine block and the frame rail preventing the forward and rearward movement of the engine/transmission assembly during launch and braking conditions• Can be used in Front Motor Plate and Mid Mount Plate equipped race cars to further tie the engine to the chassis• The use of two kits positioned on either side of the engine is highly recommend for high horsepower race cars• Includes a 3/4" dia. DOM steel tube, two chassis tabs, a 1/2" high misalignment rod end, an engine mounting tube and complete instructions
Let me know ?
