Fabricating Mounts


Since a lot of torque will be on the transition from the motor to the transmission, I am fabricating mounts to secure the adapter plate to the frame. I cut two flat triangular shaped brackets from 1/4 inch steel plate. Then I welded short lengths of angle iron to the frame rails of the car. Next. the brackets will be bolted to the angle iron and the aluminum adapter plate. Once this is done, the motor/adapter/transmission assembly can be permanently mounted in the car.
