Motor Mounts Advice
I have a question in regards to motor mounts.
I recently installed a set of headers and due to the flex of the motor (or weakness of the motor mounts) and the weight of the car in a turn, i get contact between the frame and the header (when the car is off, there is only about 1/2" clearance between the two). To solve this, I'd like to put in a more rigid motor mount to stop the torquing of the motor and minimize the impact the momentum of the car has and try to eliminate this contact. I've seen several threads for motor mounts, but I was wondering if I could get some advice on WHICH I should be looking for. Car is a car that does not see the track, but can be driven spiritedly, so super rigid for track wise is not needed. I appreciate the advice. Thank you! |
i am cammed and have headers and the shake and rumble does not create any fitment issues with my kooks.
some people have moved their engine slightly but i wouldnt recommend that unless they are not squared on the mounts. another fix people have used is to dimple the headers...again wouldnt recommend that. what size headers and what brand? there are brands out there that wouldnt stand for improper fitment and will make it right or tell you how to. |

Don't change engine mounts to compensate for poorly made headers... However, I have thought about changing my mounts because of engine rock caused by my cam. What mounts did you go with? |
Pfadt.

I thought pfadt switched over to welding the engine to the frame directly.. :bellyroll:

I was just kidding about the Torque Solutions, I know they are a Pfadt clone.

I was producing over 600whp with my twin turbo setup. And it got to the point where my motor was twisting so much it was hitting the firewall.
I personally went with ZL1 Motor mounts (which are for sale btw) because i figured if it is put into a camaro pushing over 580hp... it should be good for my car. I use to daily drive my car and i could feel that it was much tighter.. but it was not harsh by any means. So for the money it was nice. |
