According to this a SBC is 575 and a BBC is 685. And 6.2s still blow ass.
It'll fit. Especially after I take care of a few mounts that are in the way.

Saw a TJ with a BBC a few years ago at one of the calrock evens at katemcy. It can be done. Didn't seem like there was much room for anything else though.
I remember that TJ that had the v10 in it now that I think about it. Hell, if that fat bastard will fit, then a BBC shouldn't be that big of a deal.
That was SWINE's Jeep.

^those mounts will cave in the framerail. ask me how i know.
It should be built the other way. the box and tabs should be on the frame and the tube and bushing on the engine side with the "outrigger".Quote:

Seems like this could lead toward possible block cracking. Just food for thought.Quote:

Nice art work but whats with the donut at the bottom. I can make out the engine block and the mount but the donut is throwing me off. :flipoff2:
Most of the ones I have seen with that style mount use the bushing end on the block and have the long arm on mount to the frame. If you put a nice scab plate over the frame it should hold up nicely. Granted I've only seen one person rip the block apart at the motor mount so either way should be fine.
yeah, but don't build it like that. Use two triangular pieces to the bushing that extend to the ends of the bracket. Then cap the tops and bottom of the two pieces. Like this:
But would that really matter? The force is still transfered to the same bolt locations.Quote:
