Default Seezed engine/ broken engine mount

Hey Guys, Still havent gotten the engine to budge YET. Although, I still havent tryed "vineger" yet. (sounds strange, but hey whatever works) Actually I havent tryed the ATF Auto. Trans Fluid yet either. I sprayed this stuff called "Blaster" down the spark plug holes and into the Valve gallery...... its only been 2 days, so ill try again today.....and if nothing Ill squirt some ATF down in there.

My reason for the new post is, after pulling some body parts off(grill, bumper, fenders, ect) I got a better look at the motor and NOT the motor mounts , But the front Flange/ear on the engine block is boken off. This "was" going to be a street / strip car, but with that flange broken off ( esspecialy on the LEFT side of the motor) This motor might be retired.

UNLESS, Is there a mounting plate you can put on the front of the motor to by pass the engine mounting flange ? ? ? One specificaly for racing, to hold down a strong torquing motor ? ? ?

If not Ive got another 360 in the shop I could use ...Thanks in advance to any comments or suggestions....Craig Hyde

With all the problems you have with that motor it may be best to junk it and use your other engine, but if you want to keep that one you may beable to use elephant ear type mounts dont know about SB but they work fine on BB's

especially since it's seized, you don't know whats salvagable, or if the block is cracked... i'd use that 360 you got in the shop.
