But I think if you have the stock mounts, I'd just use a chain or something to control movement. Really only need it on one side.
Ditto to what John said. I use the stock mounts and a chain on drivers side head only. No problems running 9.80's.

Darin...look into Allpontiacs front motor plate that goes outside the timing cover. No extra work and will make things easier if you ever have to remove heads in the car.

Ditto Jim. Front Plate is like having another cross member to help stiffen the frame some more too....
Darin without some kind of motor support you risk a lot more than just hood damage from air pan.....Just ask me.....I'll tell you...
I lost my file pics of last motor destruction but I think you remember it !!
Just ask Jack G. and Brad also...
I just think you would like a AP plate in the long run...it does the job and out of the way..

Nice install Jess...think I'll look into stabilizer rod..

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
