3800 Poly Motor Mounts

[jk99gtp]

I am thinking of getting some ZZP poly motor mounts, to reduce some flexing of the motor..

Just curious on how bad the vibration will be after the install? Will it be tolerable? And is it a straight forward install? Or will I have to do some hacking to get them to fit...

Thanks!

I just put some on last week, and the vibration is not as bad as I thought. You won't be dissapointed.

i've got em and the vibration is not bad at all..at least for me it isnt.. they werent that hard to install, just getting the old rubber mounts out of the dogbones is a pain in the ass. other than that the rest was easy

If you are close to Bolingbrook, I can take your stock mounts and make them adjustible to lock them in place as another option. It'll avoid the hassle of removing the old rubber, and you can adjust them stiffer than the poly's.

Ron,

I am in Forest Park and unfortunately I placed an order for new mounts already, but I am curious as to how this works? Would this work even if my front mounts are worn out? Snoop looked at my motor/downpipe awhile back and when I put the car in D it flexes pretty badly, so I was just guessing that my fronts are just worn. Hopefully my rear mounts are fine, cause Im sure those arent fun to replace

Silver,

Thank you for the offer. However I have already placed my order before I saw your post, appreciate it tho!


Thanks guys!

I slip an Aluminum plate in the stock rubber mount on the front slit of the bushing. On the engine side, I drill a hole and weld a nut to the outside of the mount housing. A set screw goes there to lock down the mount, or to limit it's travel. It's slick and discreet.

Does it really matter who makes them?? :lol:

 

[rjaz gtp]

When you make a set Fish I'll be the first to buy them!

I think he meant SnM sells Aluminum motor mounts, or at least did...

Ron, how long have you had this done to your car? Do you see the same results as someone would with Poly mounts or even the Aluminum mounts?
Just kind of curious as to what you think of it compared to the other solutions.

Whats your going rate $$$, for the mod that is h34r:

I saw his car in person and he pointed the screw into mount idea. It looks like a great idea. Cruise around on a soft setting/business, or screw them in for racing - harder than any mounts out there when compressed all the way.

There's my advertisement, Ron...do I get it free now?

I've had it for 2 1/2 years this way with no issues.

Hey ron how much i live right between Lockport and Orland Park....

pm me if you want to

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

It's reletively easy, no more than $25-30. You will need to repaint your mounts when it's done though. Otherwise the bare metal will rust. I have to sand off the paint on one side of the mount to weld on it.
