| Motor mount bolts. | Login/Join |
| DRR Sportsman |
I’m putting together a project that someone else took apart. I’m putting a 350sbc and a th350 in a 1960 Chevrolet pickup. Are the motor mount bolts any special kind of bolt? Or is it just any bolt that fits will work? | ||

If there's anything special about a motor mount bolt, it's the pointed end so you can tap it through. . Dave F J B | |||

Is that the old saddle style engine mount on the front of the block? "Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular." Dave Cook N375 | |||

No sir. It has the mounts on the side of the block. | |||

A bolt with a long shoulder extended through the shear areas, and short thread section is preferred. 7/16" if I remember correctly, a lock nut would be nice. Nothing special really. I use the O.E. bolts on my ride. "Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular." Dave Cook N375 | |||

^^^ This. You don't want the shear forces acting on threads. If the off-the-shelf bolts have too long of an unthreaded shank to let you tighten it, you can always stack some flats on it before the nut. And if you don't have a locking nut, use a split lockwasher, and make sure you check the tightness every now and then. Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||

It is a good idea to check torque on every nut and bolt on your race car at least once a year. I always retorque the heads and exhaust bolts after running it a few heat cycles. Also a good idea to check every weld on the chassis as part of your general maintenance. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||
