I have seen several solutions, and i figured out a simple one for my liking, if you have access to a welder.
I used grade 8 nuts. These nuts are spot welded to the frame anyway, and the frame is what supports the engine weight. the previous owner had already drilled the holes for me, I just figured how to spot weld a nut in there, so when you tighten it, the bolt wont move. The bolt does not hold any weight. so I welded two nuts, to a flange...  make sure your bolt is center and is appropiate  I secured the flange with the bolt into the right position, to center it and to get it tight to the frame, where it would rest forever...  once welded properly, i cut the excess metal..  did the second one and filled up the holes again, to prevent mice from finding a nest..  and shaved, and had the bolts ready to be used..  those nuts dont move and you can torque the bolts appropiately... I was in a hurry, so i could have welded the holes.... but oh well. This is not the best approach, but just one of many... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Wow, this is actually a pretty good idea!
I'm going to have to steal it when I drop my motor in, probably should do this before I paint my engine bay  |
