LS Engine Mounts and Frame Brackets for 1977-1993 Chevy Caprice
When fitting an LS powerplant under the hood of a 1977 to 1993 Chevy Caprice, precise motor positioning is critical to keep steering and ride quality intact. The 1977-1993 Caprice Engine Mounts & Frame Brackets (only) lock the LS block at its original footprint to preserve factory suspension geometry and minimize vibration transfer into the chassis. Machined from US steel to exact tolerances, these brackets bolt directly to the Caprice B body frame rails with only minor frame rail preparation and include all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation.
Precision Machining Ensures Exact LS Positioning
The engine mounts and frame brackets are CNC machined to tight tolerances, delivering a precise fit for the LS block within the Caprice frame rails. By anchoring the engine near its original footprint, the suspension geometry remains unchanged, which is vital for predictable steering feel and consistent cornering balance. This precise alignment also minimizes vibration transfer into the chassis, reducing noise and wear on surrounding drivetrain components. As a result, drivers experience the factory handling characteristics even when the engine is pushed hard.
US-sourced Steel Construction for Lasting Strength
Each bracket is fabricated from premium grade American steel, selected for its uniform strength and rigidity under heavy torque loads. The robust material resists flexing when accelerating or braking, preserving the mounting points and preventing fatigue cracks over extended use. A durable protective coating guards against corrosion in wet or salty conditions, ensuring the assembly remains solid mile after mile. This level of durability supports higher power output while maintaining a secure connection between engine and chassis.
Comprehensive Hardware Kit Eases Installation
The package includes engine mounts, reinforced frame brackets, and all required fasteners so you won't need extra parts or hardware. Detailed instructions walk you through frame rail preparation, bracket placement, and proper torque settings in a clear, step by step format. Only minor frame trimming is needed, making the swap approachable for both first timers and seasoned builders. By providing a complete solution, this kit cuts installation time and lets you focus on tuning the Caprice's performance.
