Engine Mounts on a '57 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone know where I can order new engine mounts for a Chevy 350 with a 350 turbo transmision?....they have to be able to take some serious power...oh yeah, it's for a 57 GMC stepside....

Question... Do you already have the 350/350 installed or are you looking to do that now? There are several mount kits and ways to install the engine. I prefer to use a very simple mount that can be bolted to the frame rail or welded in if you want to make it bullet proof. There are rear transmission crossmembers also available for first time automatic installation. I will be happy to help you with these parts.

Sorry it took a while to reply...I've got the whole truck down to the frame...'57 GMC Stepside, shortbed, whrap around window...I've already installed an rear lowering kit (moved the axle above leafs), mono leafs in the front, and disk brakes in the front, this motor is a chevy 350 bored out to 383 with some nice cams, msd ignition, dual pump Holley carb, headers, 350 Turbo Automatic Trans....I just picked it up yesterday....the guy i baught it from says it probably has close to 400HP!!! Since i'm down to the frame i'm thinking weld in motor mounts to handle the power...I had a 283 pontiac w/ a hydromatic automatic transmision before....What do you recomend?
