S.M.B Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) sup guys, another thing i want to get rid of is the sloppy cadilac motor mounts, im going to be building a lightweight but extremely strong urathane motor mounts for my car using these style urathane bushings encased in a round stock that will be welded to a bracket that will mount to the frame, then the bracket that bolts to the motor will slip over the urathane bushings with a single 1/2 bolt locking the two together. Is this something that u guys would be interested in aswell? http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss142/lowrider01mopar/P18359.jpg Edited August 12, 2009 by S.M.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I would be in for one. Sick of my engine rocking and the throttle body hitting the hood. Just one for the driver's side though. I think 2 would vibrate my eyeballs loose on a street car. Edit: Might want to put this in a different forum. Group purchase perhaps?

Killtodie Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 would be nice, but would also cause everything in a 20 year old car to vibrate loose... how about those with an optional softer oem like bushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) The stock motor mounts do NOT allow your motor to hit the hood, if they do then there is a piece missing. One one side the plate that limits movement comes off and on the other its welded on. Because of the V arrangement there is no way that upper plate can get past that guard. As soon as it lifts up it hits it. The sides keep the motor from moving as the upper plate hits the guard and the rolled top edge keeps the plate from going past and tearing the mount apart. Over time heat and OIL rot a motor mount. Just get some replacement ones they are NOT supposed to be soft and starting to separate from the two plates. if this is all you have then you have the wrong part http://s3.amazonaws.com/monsoon/ykv5ooX-akEfeRFqJ7VCVA__/DEA-A2731/image1_o.jpg left side, its actually the right side with the bolt for the turbo heat shield http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motor-Mount...sQ5fAccessories http://s3.amazonaws.com/monsoon/ykv5ooX-akEfeRFqJ7VCVA__/DEA-A6606/image1_o.jpg but the other side mount that upper guard comes off and he does sell that mount but aftermarket welds it on too or you can just use two with the bolt on it won't matter otherwise they are the same Edited August 12, 2009 by Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The stock motor mounts do NOT allow your motor to hit the hood I should elaborate on this. I put a 1" TB spacer on the Ford TB that I am using on my Magna. This gave me more room for the fuel return line from the FPR. After doing this the wheel that the throttle cable connects to would hit my hood when starting off causing the throttle to seemingly open on its own. I do have the correct mounts installed and they are only about a year old with aprox 5k miles on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the correct mounts installed and they are only about a year old with aprox 5k miles on them. Did you know you can rorate the FPR about 40* so the discharge points almost stright forward? I've done that on all my magnas since about 2004. Just put the FPR in a vice still attached to the rail and pull on the long end of the rail, the FPR hold down tabs twist/bend and the whole thing pivots on the FPR's rail connection. It's now pointing nearly forward and can sitll be taken off and put back on just as before, the bend tabs now stay where the thing points at a better angle. I've done ths to about 65-70 of them.

TainterRacing Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I am just asking... whats wrong with the poly mounts you can get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexkrazy Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 You should be able to substitute many different grades of poly to meet most peoples needs. Might be harder to keep cost down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
