There are a few that make a bracket like this and the cheapest is $199 each and in my opinion will not be as robust as mine for the cost involved.
I do this stuff as a hobby and challenge so I can sell it at a low cost to members. I'm not in any way going to make a big profit to retire on, that's for sure lol.. When I had my 2008 600hp blown mustang, I fabbed custom engine mounts to deal with the abuse as the aluminum OEM's were starting to crack. So, I made them out of steel plates..

Hmm this is interesting.
I assume wheel hop is primarily an issue for a quick take-off, drag race type of situation?
Does a diff lock down like this have a substantial benefit for a track environment? I would think there would obviously be a benefit, just like stiffer bushings, stiffer everything would have a benefit of putting the power down more directly, but would it be noticeable, and benefit to a street/track DD?
Thanks for the help and input.
