LS Engine Mounts and Frame Brackets for A-Body
When installing a modern LS V8 into a 1964 through 1967 A-Body chassis precise engine placement is critical to preserve factory driveline geometry and prevent binding in universal joints, yet these engine mounts and frame brackets make setup straightforward. Each bracket is laser cut to fit frame openings so installers can bolt in hardware without any cutting or welding. Built from American steel with calibrated plate thickness the assembly withstands LS torque pulses and dampens resonance for a quieter cabin. By providing precise alignment with Mopar, Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth frame rails this kit keeps your classic swap on track from first bolt to final road test.
Maintaining Factory Driveline Geometry for Smooth Power Transfer
When integrating an LS V8 into a 1964 through 1967 A Body frame, preserving the original engine height and setback is essential to keep universal joints and drive shafts within their ideal angular range. These mounts align the powerplant precisely where the chassis was engineered to accept it so torque pulses move freely without imposing stress on transmission bearings. The result is consistent power delivery from idle through redline, with a noticeable reduction in vibration at the firewall and underbody. By matching factory geometry, the system extends the service life of driveline components and keeps driveline angles in check whether cruising or accelerating hard.
Bolt In Setup Eliminates Fabrication Delays
This mounting solution installs directly into existing frame openings without any cutting or welding, allowing builders to advance from engine placement to suspension and brake work in record time. Each bracket features pre drilled holes that correspond exactly with original equipment locations, so standard hardware secures everything in place with minimal effort. Builders of any skill level can complete the installation using common hand tools, freeing up time for wiring, plumbing, and calibration. Eliminating custom tab creation not only speeds the process but also reduces the chance of misalignment that can occur during complex fabrication.
American Steel Construction for Robust Engine Support
Fabricated from domestically sourced steel plate, every mount and bracket combines calibrated thickness and precision welds to deliver unwavering support under intense driving conditions. The choice of American steel ensures a consistent material quality that resists deformation and fatigue over many seasons of use. As the engine fires and torque ripples through the mount points, this rigid assembly dampens resonance and protects the chassis from stress concentration. This dependable construction also contributes to a quieter ride, as the material absorbs harsh inputs that might otherwise transmit into the cabin.
Purpose Built for 1964 through 1967 Mopar Frame Rails
Designed exclusively for Plymouth, Dodge, and Chrysler A Body models, these mounts conform exactly to the contours of original frame rails, avoiding interference with steering components, fuel lines, or exhaust manifolds. This meticulous fitment lets enthusiasts retain stock underbody channels and simplifies the integration of aftermarket cooling and induction systems. By respecting factory clearances, the kit streamlines future service and upgrading tasks, ensuring that maintenance access remains unimpeded. Engine bay packaging remains tidy, and installers can focus on performance upgrades without sacrificing fit and finish.
