I do some pretty ghetto shit but man I wouldn't trust that. Either block post or block guard. Block guards aren't that expensive $75 and someone to weld it in.

yeah thanks i just like this idea i know from all out drag racing experience w/ my fathers 500cid hemi we've epoxyed the block but we were not driving it around lk a normal car i like this idea cuz it supports more then just the top of the motor lk a block guard and i dunno too much about the post it looks kinda weak but so far it looks the best option for me right now thanks keep posting hopefully the man i trust das schmoo will show up here

No, you just drop them in and let them bounce around.

I've heard of people doing that with concrete too. :eh: Its a good idea in theory, but I sure as hell wouldn't try anything like that in my motor. Maybe if it was a beater project and I had extra paperweight d-series motors laying around. :dunno:

I installed a block guard on my old LS and it went in so tight that it wouldent bounce around.

Never do block posting, it is the worst thing ever, I wouldn't do the epoxy thing either. Just go with the block guard, Ur suppose to weld them in, but most of them are a tight enough fit.
