I had Moroso solid motor mounts (motor and frame) for my old 400 SBC. I figured I could reuse them and just order the Trans-Dapt adapter plates only. I went and put them on the motor today and dropped it in. The issue was I could mount one side, but the other side I could not get lined up, at least 1/2" or more off. Stepping back and thinking about it, the 1/4" adapter plate on each side of the motor throws the geometry off a tad.
I wonder if the Trans-Dapt mounts are a bit shorter in length than my Moroso solids, thus allowing it to work.
I thought about opening up the holes on the frame to allow the frame mount to slide up a little which would work, but that does not seem like the right way, should probably just get the trans-dapt mounts as well.
Anyone else run into any issues with their mounts like this?
