LS engine mounts

[Rebel1]

Thought this info would be helpful to those putting LS series engines into cobras. More so for those putting LS's into earlier chassis made for Ford power.

The standard holden/chev engine mount donuts are 70+ mm in height. In my case this was a bit too high and I needed something lower.

Maybe you want to lower your engine in the chassis.

Dallow have two engine mount donuts available that are 70mm tower width
(diameter), and 40 or 45 mm. high.

They also have a corvette one which is 50mm tower width and 55mm high.

According to Jeff Dallow they are extremely strong, made for V8's, but more solid than the standard holden units which allow a little too much engine movement in the chassis.

Check out the dallow cataloque on their site.

Thanks Les. Which ones are you going with?

[Rebel1]

Sambo, either of the 70mm ones will do. That is either 40 or 45mm high.

The RMC is a little lower in the bodywork than say a CR so clearance is close, plus I suspect the RMC main rails are a little closer together so the engine cant sit between the rails.

There is also a drive shaft alignment issue but the dallow mounts make it way easier.

In your case with the Harrison you'd just use the mounts Warwick recommends.
