Looking for an engine bracket (Page 1/1)

Doing a 3400 swap on my 85 GT and need the engine bracket that looks like this. Where could I find one for sale or is there someone that could make one maybe fierorog?

El Fuego, welcome to the forum! You might get quicker response by making a post in The Mall. I have no doubt someone has this bracket ready to ship.

Your swap is into an 85?

The bracket you have circled is an "88 only" bracket. Since the shelf on the cradle is in a different position on the 88, you may have some trouble getting things to line up.
You may consider the L-shaped bracket that was used on the 85-87 V6.

Note that if you use the 88 bracket, there is a boss missing from the side of the block that one of the bolt holes would line up with. It's the one nearest the oil filter.

Edit - The engine I was thinking of, with the missing boss, was the iron head 3.4. If that's a 3400 in the pic above, the block could be different.
So, please carry on. Just don't be surprised...
