HD Poly Motor Mounts

Well...you could send me a trans mount back and I will try it and see what all needs to be done. I just went out and looked at the setup again. You CAN make it work, but you will need to take off the cross member to do it. You will have to holesaw the mounting plate to gain access. Then, put it all together finger tight. Tighten the mount shaft bolt as tight as you can. Then take out the two mount plate bolts and crossmember bolts and take it down. Tighten the center mount bolt and put the cross member back in. Tighten the mount plate to tranny bolts and then the outer crossmember bolts. Sounds like a LOT of work, but its not...it just looks that way...if you dont have any exhaust on. Not sure what to do if the exhaust can not be moved for assistance.

Well let me think about it and see what else I can do. I'd hate for it to HAVE to involve hole-sawing.

Some shots of this extra bracket might help.
 
So, does anyone have any 94-95 SC mounts handy?

I'm also looking for a 94-97 4.6 passenger mount as well if anyone has one of those laying around.
 
I have 95-95 brackets sitting in my garage.

What the earliear ones do is lower the engine slighly and move it to the right. They did this so the engine cleared the massive ABS system that was standard on the earlier models. The 95-94 are now more centered beacause they dont need the extra clearence because of the updated Braking system.

What year is your car?

What year mounts are you using?

I might have an interest in the 94-95 mounts just for comparison so I have the info.

I have a set of '93 mounts sitting here and they are different than the early ones I had.

My car is a 94. If you have 93 mounts I belive they could be the same as the the ones I had stock, because the 93 came with the new style braking system.

OK, well then, from what you're telling me I have it covered. Do you think you could perhaps take a couple pics of the 94-95 U-brackets with a ruler for reference? If so shoot me an email and I'll let you know key dimensions.

Thanks

Yeah that should not be a problem. Where do you need the measurements.
 
If you could lay the tape measure across the base of each (not between the legs, but across). This will verify the side to side location of the isolator.

Also at least a measurement from the bottom of the U-bracket to the center of the bolt hole (that goes through the crossmember).

Also, just a pic from the side showing the profile of the U-brackets from the side would be helpful too.

Thanks

Got them. They are perfect.

A quick check confirms that they are the same as the '93 brackets I have.

That being said, I can offer mounts for 89-95 SC's. With the later cars having the option of running the shorter earlier units.

Thanks!
 
I have to edit my post. So I dont give the wrong informtion.


I took some pictures to show the difference.

I understand.
I had a set of 89's to mock up from originally. I have a set of '93's sitting on my desk, and the lower brackets match the ones you took pics of.

So what you are saying is you used the 93-95 Pass side lower with the 89-92 driver lower to drop your engine a bit?

It is very obvious the pass side lower brackets will not interchange.

The height can be adjusted to a point.

Can the ones you are making be adjusted by removing material of the mount? How about vibration filtration?

It's hard to get a good read on the height, but they are slightly lower than stock.

The bushings are not easy to cut down. At least the softer ones aren't.

The vibrations on the V6 aren't that bad, but I do have the two stiffnesses of bushings and am working on a dual durometer set-up that "should" transmit less vibrations.
 
Chuck..Anyone with the 4.6 mounts running around for a bird? And how much?


I see the 93 was the same as teh 94/95

L:O)
