The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 383 Trans mounts to orriginal trans for my Big Bolt.

Updated photos on my Big Bolt. I just made my trans mounts for my 48. I got help from Stovebolt member 48bigtrucks, Thanks for the photo Scott! I still have to finish powder coating the second mount as well as the front engine mounts.

Good deal, I forgot all about them. Put a small piece of conveyor belt between the mount and the cross member for a little dampening and you'll be good to go,

Thanks Scott i'll do that. Hey, what angle is your trans. I read that it should not be zero degrees and it should not exceed 4 degrees. Is this the angle of the output shaft on the trans or the drive shaft? What degree did you make yours at?

I set my frame level on jack stands and set the engine/trans at 6 degrees. Then I installed the rear at 6 degrees. I didn't have any body parts or any other heavy stuff to preload the suspension to adjust for rake, but I figured in 2 degrees for rake to hopefully end up with the desired 4 degrees of pinion angle when the truck was fully assembled. It's not all that important to go more or less than 4 degrees, just that the trans and the rear end are at the same angle,
