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.

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..

alex ruano

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

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 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.
