cheap engine strap down

[92TyLA]

Anyone have pictures of a cheap way to strap down the engine?
I remember a local member used small high quality starps but donw remember who.
With the ac delete kit the serpentinr belt hits my rad to block water hose and that was with a 2lbs boost launch, already ripped one dont want the same to happen to the new one.
Thanks

Dear Mess'can,
Quit being a Mess'can and replace your motor mounts.

PM me your address and I'll send you my old, hardly used, aluminum engine hold down I bought from nallj92.

Metal straps you can get at Lowes that they use to strap down mobile homes to the ground, drill some holes and bolt it to block and frame.

The cheapest what you can do is weld the engine
mounts solid so you don,t need any engine strap ..

I did this once on a Taurus SHO. Each mount (3 total) was over 300 bucks. Plus the installation. The mounts were liquid filled or some crap. About 3 weeks after I finally broke down and replaced them, the car got totaled.
