Engine mounts for higher horsepower cars
Hello,
I have put the big block back in my 72 for the Sick Summer race in a few weeks. The engine is about 550ish horsepower and i may be using a small shot of nitrous. I put new mounts in the car about 12 years ago and were fine with the last motor. This has more movement when i accelerate. Besides a motor plate what is everyone using to help with the torque? I see there are some solid mounts on ebay. Should I put one on the driver side and leave the stock mount on the passenger side?

Of course, there's nothing wrong with a chain or turn buckle from the head to the frame, either.
