wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Anyone ever use these engine mounts? I assume they bolt right to the side of the block and then bolt to the frame. Am I missing something? No bushing or rubber mount? http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/all38098.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 There is a such thing as solid mounts but you don't want to go that way. all engine vibrations come into the chassis and it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 This is how the car is currently setup. To go another way I would have to weld something to the frame. I wonder if anything can be done to lessen the vibrations and still go this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 get a kit and use rubber mounts or you'll have to retorque every bolt on the motor every other time you drive it it'll vibrate that bad I'm not kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Those are for use in a tube/fabricated chassis, with studs for mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Apparantly the guy who I got this car from was already using them for his setup. I may just go with it long enough to keep moving on and then comeback and switch them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 What about Energy suspension Urethane mounts rather than solids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
