Many of the G-body folks are familiar with the BRP Hot Rods motor mount kit. I have personally used them on the “Hot Rod Regal” and appreciate the quality of the product.
In this 2 part post, a detailed installation of the BRP Hot Rods motor mount kit will be covered as well as the oil pan that was used (part 2). In part 1, I will convey the photos and his thoughts on the BRP Hot Rods motor mount kit for the G-body.
Finding the right engine mounts for your special project can be one of the most challenging parts of the engine installation. You must consider what transmission and cross-member you will be using, what type of exhaust system you plan on installing, and what oil pan will fit your special build. All of which if not properly researched, will cause you a lot of wasted time and extra dollars. BRP Hot Rods (770-751-0687) is a company that really has their act together when it comes to motor mounts. The fit and construction quality of the motor mounts are excellent, the packing and shipping were as promised, and finally, the price was well justified by the quality of the parts received. They will be the first ones to tell you that if you mix and match different company products, you may have some problems – and they are right! In my opinion, they get a perfect score.
BRP Hot Rods motor mounts complete building package for the G body fits like a glove if installed properly!
In this last photo, the oil pan he used to clear the frame and the center link is a newer item that many people may not have had the chance to try. It is a cast pan produced by a well-known engine builder and works perfect with the BRP Hot Rods motor mounts. This pan does not hang down below the frame, has internal baffling, has provisions for a screw on filter and tapped for an oil cooler, and comes with a pick-up tube. The owner has contacted both BRP Hot Rods and the engine builder to let them know this combination works with zero alterations – bolt it in and go! Please check back soon for part 2 of the LSX G-body engine mount & oil pan combo for the name and part # of this oil pan.
Happy Hot Rodding
