Outside of using motor plates, what have you guy's used to chain a motor down to lessen the amount of movement? I was thinking braided cable with I bolts with a turn buckle.
Any pics would be cool.
Thanks
Dave

A piece of tubing with heim joints in each end has always seemed to be a good choice for travel limiters....

Here is a pic from years ago. My 69 Mustang with a stroker sbf. I used a turnbuckle, eye bolt, j-bolt and chain. I also used a piece of alternator spacer to space it away from the head so it would line up with an existing hole on the chassis (sway bar mount hole). The car still had rubber motor mounts and with the tall intake, spacer and breather the engine would rock over far enough for the breather to hit the hood. This setup solved it. Wasn't too tight, just enough to keep it from moving, but the rubber motor mounts could still damper the vibrations..
