Engine mount ideas?

[2jz_Dime]

Vehicle - 1991 extended cab S10 (originally a 4.3 5 speed truck). The plan - A toyota 3.0L inline 6 (2JZ-GE) out of a 94 supra. The horsepower goal is a simple 500 hp with the engine set back as far as possible. The engine is between the frame rails right now but im not sure how or where im going to mount it and what metal type, style or thickness to use.

Im wanting your 2 cents on and engine mount idea. This is my first engine swap and im real nervous about this part.

Pics to help.

The engine mount location is just behind the oil filter.

And on this pic you can see the origanal mount spot on the truck (below the thermostat tube) and the mount on the engine. The mount on the engine can be removed.

Not sure how much room you have to mount a flat plate to the motor, but this should give you an idea of what you need. The plate gives you 4-6" of room to move for or aft, you would have to drill new holes im sure but at least this is an idea to start with. The mounts bolt up in the stock location.

If it's mostly race and less street, you can go with a motor plate and mid plate (motor plate on a 2JZ shown below). Motor plate mounts at the front of the block and accessories mount in front of it. You will potentially need to fabricate spacers to get all the accessory drive in the same plane. Mid plate would sandwich between the engine and the transmission. Since you are using a stock transmission rather without an aftermaket bellhousing that already incorporates a plate, it may be difficult. You could go with a conventional transmission mount at the rear of the transmission. In addition to the plates/mount, you'll need to constrain the engine longitudinally with a limiter.

If this is more of a street-driven truck, you will need to make conventional motor mounts. You will have one part that bolts to where the stock mount bolts on the 2JZ and one part that bolts to the frame mounts on the engine. Generally, the 2.8L mounts are the strongest on the S10. Get some poly ones like the ones from Current Performance (http://www.currentperformance.com/Swap_Parts/parts.html):

Then you will need to build the piece that bolts to the motor. This piece will need to have ears that will fit and bolt onto the 2.8L mounts with a throughbolt, similar to what silvermonte posted. However, looking at the amount of setback you have, it seems that this mount would need to be too big and too far rearward to practically run forward to meet the 2.8L mounts. In that case, you might as well start with stock 2JZ motor mounts and build a crossmember behind the stock S10 crossmember. They would look something like this:

If you wanted poly in the mounts, then you need to incorporate a poly bushing, 2 ears, and a throughbolt. You can get a weldable poly bushing from any of the offroad supply places like Ballistic or Summit Machine or Poly Performance.
