So for the last while I have noticed my 4.9 moving around more than it should, it got so bad that under hard acceleration the alternator Polly would slam back into the strut tower and throw a nice spark show out the passenger side deck vent. It really sucked. Today I found out why?
It is the 4.9 mount that is on the firewall side below the starter. The force is pretty much straight up at the location of the snap. I decided I to make my own style of mount. Thanks to a suggestion from Clynt, I drilled out the center of the mount, went and bought a large stainless bolt. (guy said it was = to a grade 18 bolt ) :D The test drive went great, it is solid as a rock and I don't think I will ever have to replace that again. The brackets that the mount goes into is 1/4 plate steel.
