Hi Ross, Yes , chains ,wire rope, shackle's. 60> chevys had a retrofit kit for the same reason until they made the later captive type mount. I believe FORD also make a captive type as well, its fairly bulky though. I will have a look in some of my catalogs & post if I find anything. I would urge you to try & create a small platform pad if at all possible. I usually make up a small X-member with 2 Nolathane type bush's(1 ea side) that fit a U-shape lug on each chassis rail with a Thru bolt. The X-member has a piece of Angle iron on each side that attaches to the mount lugs of the block That sucker aint goin nowhere.
