    Motor mounts, Tremec 3550 and Driveshaft Angle

    I just found the Ron Morris mounts. Those look pretty nice! Do you think that these will help with getting the proper driveshaft angle? Also, do you recommend a set of motor mounts like these over the stock ones when my motor will be pushing over 400 hp and 400 ft/lbs of torque? Thanks!

    What would it cost to build a 347?
