LS Engine Mounts and Frame Brackets for 1964-1967 A-Body
Installing an LS V8 into a 1964 through 1967 A Body chassis demands exact engine placement to preserve factory driveline geometry and prevent binding at universal joints. These Engine Mounts and Frame Brackets (Only) are laser cut for true fitment in original Mopar frame openings and bolt directly into existing holes for no weld installation that saves time and reduces alignment errors. With calibrated American steel plate and precision welds each bracket withstands intense torque pulses while maintaining consistent height and setback so engine angles remain correct under load. This solution also dampens vibration at the firewall and keeps the powertrain in harmony with chassis components whether you are cruising on the highway or pushing the limits at the strip.
Precision Placement for Optimal Driveline Geometry
When fitting an LS V8 into a 1964 through 1967 A Body, maintaining exact engine height and setback is critical to keep universal joints and drive shafts within their intended angular range. These mounts position the powerplant where the original design called for it so torque pulses flow through the driveline without binding or undue stress on transmission bearings. The engineered alignment also reduces vibration transmitted to the firewall, resulting in a calmer cabin at cruise or under load. By preserving factory angles this system extends the service life of universal joints and stabilizes power transfer from idle to redline.
Bolt In Installation Eliminates Welding and Cuts Build Time
The frame brackets are laser cut to match factory openings so installers can secure them with existing bolt patterns using standard hardware. This bolt in design removes the need for modifications or custom bracket fabrication, allowing the engine bay timeline to move quickly from mounting to wiring and plumbing. Technicians of many skill levels can carry out the installation with basic tools and without specialized welding equipment. The result is a cleaner underbody and fewer alignment errors, saving hours on common swap projects.
Calibrated American Steel Construction for Rigidity and Dampening
Each bracket is formed from domestically sourced steel plate with a controlled thickness that balances rigidity and vibration isolation. Precision welds reinforce the bracket assembly to withstand the intense torque pulses an LS V8 generates, while also absorbing resonance that might otherwise feed into the chassis. The choice of American steel ensures consistent mechanical properties and fatigue resistance season after season. As a result, the mounts maintain their shape and position under heavy acceleration and hard launches.
Frame Rail Adaptation for Mopar A Body Models without Interference
Engine mounts are crafted to conform precisely to the contours of 1964 through 1967 Plymouth, Dodge, and Chrysler A Body frame rails, avoiding contact with steering linkages, fuel lines, or exhaust headers. This tailored fitment respects original underbody channels, simplifying the integration of factory or aftermarket components. A clear path for cooling plumbing and induction systems remains available, reducing potential service issues down the road. Fit and finish remain factory clean and functional, letting builders focus on performance tuning rather than fitment challenges.
