Competition Style Motor Mounts
Motor mount problems are becoming
more common as our customers' trucks get used harder and these
mounts are the solution to those problems. Many drivetrain
breakage problems can be traced to bad drivetrain mounting and
strong motor mounts are an essential part of the solution.
We've seen lots of GM trucks on the trail and they show crazy
amounts of motor movement with the stock mounts. Keep your
motor where it's supposed to be with these HD mounts.

Description: Unbreakable,
urethane bushed, two piece welded motor mount assemblies.
This type of mount has been used for years by desert racers and
other vehicle builders who are serious about strength and
durability. The urethane bushings provide a near
indestructible yet vibration absorbing cushion between the two
motor mount halves. This kit has also been popular with
the big block owners to keep the motor from settling onto the
front crossmember.
Tech Notes:
-
These are
a bolt-in replacement for the factory small block or diesel
mounts. They will not fit an original big-block truck,
the frame bolt pattern is a little different. The DO
fit small block trucks that are swapping in a big block
motor. An example is our green K5, it was originally a
diesel, then ran a 383 small block and then we bolted the
468 big block into the same mounts. Our mounts will
not bolt into the 1-ton truck that the came in from the
factory.
-
Yes, they
do transmit more vibration than the factory mount, the
question is, is that a good tradeoff? The vibration is
not objectionable to most people and the gains in strength,
stiffness and durability are huge.
-
Installation difficulty will vary with these mounts, they're
built like new GM mounts but don't have the "give" that a GM
mount has so any frame misalignment can cause problems.
That said, we've literally dropped them into trucks that we
thought were totally thrashed.
