Since the topic is chaining the driver's side head to the frame, I though I would bring this up. A friend of mine builds 9 second, all steel, untubbed, 3600 pound, naturally aspirated drag chevys. It takes a motor that would go alot quicker in the quarter mile if it was installed in a proper chassis. These torque monsters ofter wear a third motor mount attaching the driver's side cyl head to the frame. He runs solid mounts, so I asked why the turnbuckle style third mount. He claims that the stress on the block where the motor mounts bolt up can be great enough to distort the block, even tear away the mounting pad off the block. That's why drag racers like motor plates soo much. He is into stealthy drag cars, so the turnbuckle style mount is preferred over the motor plate. Just thought it was interesting.
