    Default New K-Member and Motor Mount swap

    So I've searched quite a bit on this and other forums for the answer for this. I'm going to swap my AJE K-Member and motor mounts out on my '79 Carb Turbo Pace Car. I'm not satisfied with the amount of engine vibration created. Unfortunately I no longer have my original Factory K-Member and mounts as I thought I would never need them again. I settled on a Maximum Motorsports K-Member that will accommodate a 2.3L. So now I need to find out what motor mounts I would need to use with the new MM K-Member. I need all parts that would be needed to attach the mount to the K-Member and engine. Right now the AJE K-Member uses a solid mount with a plate that attaches to the engine. I could not longer use this plate with the new MM K-Member. I found some mounts that look like they would attach to the MM K-Member but could not see how they would bolt up to the engine without an adapter of some sort. Is there a mount that would be all-inclusive and have everything needed from K-Member up to the engine itself? Or did I screw up not retrieving whatever was bolted to the engine and mount when I swapped the AJE K-Member in? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    Have you tried contacting MM and asking them?

    I've ordered everything from MM to make the swap except the motormounts directly from MM. They don't sell the 2.3L motor mounts but indicated that it would accommodate factory mounts. This isn't the issue. My question is: Is there anything else that is needed to attach the mount to the engine block. If there is a plate/adapter that is technically part of the engine that mates to the factory mounts then I don't have that any longer as I have the AJE plate/adapter that attaches to their specific AJE mount. I'll do more research and see if I can find this out.

    I did this swap last year, you can use the factory brackets and mount from your Lima engine (shocks would have to go), or you can use this after market engine mount that includes everything you need. https://tbirdcougarparts.com/

    You can see how they mount in my build thread link -> http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...od-Build/page5

    Thanks!!! Pretty much everything I was looking for! Your pics on your build thread were great as I was also looking for where to support the engine. That mount website is out of stock on those mounts so I will need to wait till they are back in stock, but again great info.
