Re: [Chevelle-list] Motor mount locks
This was chevys cheap fix in the late sixties a broken motor mount could make the motor torque causing the throttle to bind possibly causing a car crash or run amok I own 2 or 3 of them. I see them go for between 15-35 bucks on ebay all the time. there are several different versions. Yes, a piece of chain would do the same thing. Larry (Z)

Title: Message If you're looking at them from a "restoration" aspect (or just a neat conversation piece), I'd go for it if they're not too expensive. You'd also have to find a pair of non-locking mounts to make it "authentic".

GM did have a lot of suits about the mounts and that was a quick fix. It affected all small and big block Chevrolets back to 1958 when they went to the side mounts. It wasn't long before they (or the aftermarket) added the safety tabs on the mounts to alleviate the problem...mounts still broke but at least now they were restrained.

Back in the late 60's Chevy had trouble with motor mounts breaking. They came up with a device that attached to the engine in front of the exhaust manifold and attached to the frame with a piece of wire cable in between. What are they worth? I know of one and it's for sale and I was wondering what to offer for the not made any more part, at least that's what I was told. Thank you for any help you can give. Bob K. 71 Elky.
