Motor Mount

The TRANS-DAPT motor mount (SKU TRA9720) is a bolt-on engine support assembly engineered to adapt big block Ford engines into Ford fullsize trucks from 1965 through 1979. This steel motor mount kit solves a critical challenge for restorers, hot rodders, and engine swap enthusiasts: secure engine positioning when transplanting a larger displacement powerplant into a lighter-duty truck frame. Built for 2WD applications, this direct-fit solution eliminates the guesswork of custom fabrication and delivers OEM-quality engine isolation without modification to original mounting points.

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel, this motor mount provides the rigidity and vibration dampening required to handle increased torque loads from big block Ford engines while maintaining precise driveline geometry. The bolt-on design ensures accurate alignment and stress distribution across the engine bay frame rails, preventing harmonic vibration that can loosen fasteners and accelerate wear on adjacent components. Steel construction resists flex under aggressive acceleration and cornering loads, protecting transmission mounts, engine gaskets, and fuel delivery systems from premature failure. The engineered geometry positions the engine block at the factory-correct height and angle, preserving cooling fan clearance and maintaining proper hood fit without trimming or welding.

This kit is ideal for Ford truck owners pursuing big block engine upgrades—whether a 427 FE, 460, or comparable displacement build—without custom chassis work. Mechanics and fabricators value the time savings and tuning accuracy this mount delivers compared to ground-up bracket fabrication. Installation requires no cutting, welding, or frame modification, making it accessible to intermediate DIY builders while maintaining professional shop standards. Fitment is verified for 2WD Ford fullsize trucks in the 1965–1979 model range; confirm your specific year and truck configuration before ordering to ensure compatibility with your engine bay architecture.
