Transmission Tunnel Enlargement - Tunnel Of Love
We skipped a lot of steps, but since this isn't about fabbing engine mounts, it's OK. Here is the finished passenger-side engine mount Jeff Bachar fabricated. From the chassis/engine measurements taken from the previous step, Jeff mocked up a model engine mount from cardboard, test fit it, then made the real item from 3/16-inch cold rolled steel plate. The aluminum adapter plate was cut from 3/8-inch, 6061 T6 aluminum billet bar stock and is 4.5 x 5.75-inch wide. This adapts the traditional small-block Chevy engine mount to the late-model LS2 block. AMC didn't want the oil pan below the crossmember (especially with the Air Ride suspension), so they didn't want to take any chances on aftermarket swap kit motor mounts.
