DSE Pontiac Engine Mount Kit - Hydroformed Subframe (060413DS) - 1970-1981 Pontiac Firebird
Keep traditional Pontiac power at the heart of your second-generation Firebird while upgrading the chassis with a Detroit Speed Hydroformed Subframe. DSE Engine Mount Kit 060413DS provides the application-specific frame stands needed to install a Pontiac engine in a 1970-1981 Pontiac Firebird equipped with the Detroit Speed Hydroformed Subframe. It gives builders a purpose-built mounting solution for combining classic Pontiac V8 power with Detroit Speed's modern front suspension architecture.
Detroit Speed's dedicated 060413DS installation instructions confirm that the kit includes left- and right-hand frame stands along with the required mounting hardware. This is a brackets-only package, so the engine mounts themselves are not included. Detroit Speed specifically requires 1967-1969 Pontiac engine mounts for installation. Current DSE engine-fitment documentation also specifies an aftermarket oil pan and custom headers for this Pontiac engine configuration and places the engine 1.5 inches rearward of the stock location.
