So I thought there was a thread somewhere on what some of you have made for Hemi engine mounte, but I can't seem to find it. If it out there somewhere, link me to it. OTHERWISE.... ....Let's see what you've made! I expect we will see Bass' amazing engine mounts on this thread somewhere! By far the most beautiful mounts I've ever seen! Post your pics! Need ideas!
I don't get credit for making these. The poly bushings and bushing cans came off ebay for less than $15
Used Chassis Engeneering uppers & made lowers out of 2X4 steel With a flat plate welded on top with 2 donut rubbers per side.
Mine are pretty basic. The frame has a flat perch, a ford type biscuit is used, and the engine has a triangular mount with a bolt through it all. This is an old pic when I was making the pipes but it's all I can find now.
BTTT. I've been thinking of how to mount the hemi in the digger. Looking for something early sixties but I don't have any pics. Suggestions?
I thought these were homemade since they had 18 coats of paint and stashed in a box of junk at my dads. After wire wheeling them to death found they were stamped Hurst and my dad had them mounting his hemi in the late 60s
241 / 270 red ram mount i fabbed up.. ( didn't care for the billet hot heads water pump mounts ) I tapped out the uppers and ran larger bolts for extra support
Has anyone tried to adapt the original motor mounts to their frame? I would think that the biscuit mounts may be a little tight and transmit more vibration than desired. I usually try to use the stock mounts and make the bracketry for the car it is going into.
I forgot about this thread. It's come a long ways. The stock type are fine. They're just a little big and sort of clumsy looking. Speedway basically sells that type in fact for that matter I think Hot Heads also sells that type. I used the Chassis Engineering biscuits for mine and really like them so far. They keep the engine centered nicely and they aren't too soft. They also have a retaining ring around the biscuit to keep if from over-compressing.
The 392 in my '47 uses the stock '92 mounts. The top bolt was retained and a spacer plate made that rotates the stock mount to a horizontal position. Nothing fancy, but very effective.
I used Chassis Engineering Mounts and modified them so the engine sits a bit lower, and also widened the drivers side to straddle the steering box. I think they worked out well. HemiDeuce.
I hope that it's not too late for this? My mount is similar to Chopper mans. It has a few thousand miles on it now and it's holding up good with no vibration. The holes in the block have been drilled out and retapped.
I have a 241 and it has a Mounting bracket that is mounted behind the water pump pully with 2 small ( I mean small) bolts. This seems to delicate to hold the torque of this engine. I have a GM adapter plate for my Tremac Trans so I'm thinking that I need to add engine mounts to the adapter since there doesn't seem to be any other provisions on this engine for engine mounts. Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

The stock 241 style (also the same "Floating Power" mount used on the flat 6 & 8) works well if there is support at the bellhousing (like the oem design). Using two very narrow mounts, stock at front and a normal trans mount way out back, does not provide a stable platform so bellhousing support is a very good idea. .
