Here's what I did for the motor mount. project long over due :(

This is a stock mounting solution. Somebody installed a front mount support and front mount bar from an RX-4. I swapped in some competition motor mounts. Engine behaves like an RX-4 with competition motor mounts. In other words, very well. :)

sweet 510 mounts guys. Let's see some more for those of us pondering doing a rotary 510 someday.

WOW!!!!!

those r fantastic pics and fab work!!

wow Alex that tranny mount looks great.. hmm chevy u say.....hmm my bro works with hot rods alot hmm maybe he knows this tranny mount..... did u still use the rubber tranny mount of thr GSL tranny??

island snow...did u weld ur front mount to the front cross member??? pretty genius there... looks great!! i likes... i gotta change my cross member... i have another one..which imma put in... so pretty much u gotta cut off the old mounts off from the 510 cross member right..

is a standar chevy mount they sale it at kragen, ill see if i could go later and get you the part #. and on my front mount i did the bracket in the front cause i did not wanted to cut up my firewall.

yeah the stock mount was shaved off...the motor sit way back about 7+ inches back and the transmission tunnel will need to be cut out and a new tunnel will have to be fabricated. May be too much work for some but I don't mind cutting and hacking thing up, makes it so much fun...wait 'till I get my phasma cutter and I heading to wackys bone yard :)

can I have my spare motor back:lol::lol:

with a hack saw and aviation snips?? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

fucking wacky :lach:

Yeah come and get this 10a of yours :facepalm2:

Sssh dont be telling everyone:eek:

kool appreciated alex.. or if u know what year chevy,,, or its its like a chevy 350 motor probably has that same tranny mount....

i think yall gonna have to come down and help me do this thing...lol....:icon_tup:

wow 7+inches.. wow.. and y?? just more centered with the 510 weight and all??? i gotta c ur 510...lol... or may have to to get this motor into my car...lol

maann im getting to excited now!!!:icon_tup:

Not much to see at all. I've started the project one summer 3 year's ago and never got around to finishing it. Wanted to try new "hack saw and the new aviation snips" I got carried away and cut it all up :crzyeye: J/K...heres a few more pictures of the other 510 I did, may give you more idea's. this one with a TII stock manifold/turbo I manage to fit the stock manifold/turbo with little mod's on the frame rail to clear the actuator.

Arnel your the man!!!! Still love the way you fab my engine and tranny mount.:icon_tup::icon_tup::icon_tup::nod::nod::nod :

what part of so cal you stay at.

thanks for the helps Island snow!!...wow yea great ideas there....i like what i see... i guess i could use that 12a front mount plate and mock sumthin up on the sides....
