broken th350 bellhousing
i have a 89 chevy s10 blazer with a 383 sbc and a th350. i have broken the bell housing on the trans three times. i've secured the motor and trans, they are not moving, the trans yoke has 1 inch of clearance, stiff drag shocks, a 4.56 rear gear,a mini spool and drag tires. if any one can help, thanks.

Rubber mount is fine, you have to allow for chassis flex. Look at your pinion angle, make sure you have no more than 4 degrees. Are you using traction bars? What kind? When I had my chevelle I used plumbers strap to keep the rubber mount intact if it broke.

I ran a 1/4" bolt front to back through the metal part of the mount, and ran the strap under between the mount and crossmember. It would limit the mount from pulling apart, but still allow the mount to absorb the flex.
