sstallings Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Guys, I've searched every chassis thread I could find in the last few weeks to make the appropriate upgrades before dropping the SBC V8 into my '77 280Z. And, I didn't want to waste your time with a bunch of quwestions you've already answered. I have found BadDog subframe connectors, springs & shocks from Beta Motorsports, and happened upon the Ron Tyler designed Differential Mount. The basic concept of this mount, working as a diff. mount and snubber, allowing driveline angle adjustments for the V8 swap, and eliminating stretching stresses on the stock mount all make a great deal of sense to me. And the added weight is in the right place on the car: low and to the rear. I have two questions: 1. For those of you using this mount, is there any downside or issues I should be aware of (e.g.: wear, vibrations, etc.)? 2. Is anyone selling this mount? (I can weld, but if it's readily available, I may just save time and buy it if the price is right.) Thanks for your insights. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktm Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 There is a bit more noise in the cabin, but that is do more to the polyurethane mount than the actual differential mount itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
