Not Ranked
I have seen lots of people use a piece of chain but I wanted something that looked trick, not something that looked like junk. I used an aluminum Radius Rod that is anodized red and two rod ends, one left hand thread, the other right hand thread. I fabricated a bracket out of 1/2" aluminum which I bolted to the front of the head on the driver's side. The top rod end bolts to that bracket and the bottom rod end bolts to the suspension mount on the frame. It looks great and has stopped the engine from moving under high load conditions. I did not notice any additional vibration in the car after doing this so there seems to be no down side to it. I got the radius rod and rod ends from Bicknell Racing Parts but I am sure you could get them elsewhere.
I may have a picture which I will try to find. If I don't have one, I will try to take a pisture when I get a few minutes. In this case a picture is definitely worth a thousand words.
