Anyone got motor mount recommendation other than AA?

Yeah, anything other then AA.

Yeah, anything other then AA.

Agreed been dealing with AA sense 1996 their r&d department needs to do more r&d instead of taaadaaa

 

[Jdog]

The main reason I decided to try to tackle this myself!

Nice shop! I did mine on a gravel floor. But at least it was covered.

Congrats on the upcoming project and it's great you're going to share the experience with your son.

What would you recommend then? I've mostly seen AA mounts on the build threads. I see that Mark's has some that seem a little better engineered, but they're similar to AA. Very curious to see what's out there...

I do not have any hands-on experience with these, I am in the research stage. Marks 4WD Chevy V8 to FJ62 conversion mount

I would go with either OEM mounts and brackets with custom dabbed brackets for the frame, or bushing style. The nice thing about the bushing style is they can be very compact. I am running 80-series rear control arm rubber bushings as my engine mounts and it is a super compact setup, nice and ridged (the motor has very little movement which is better for radiator hose and exhaust pipe life) but zero vibrations are transferred. Also, the AA mounts put the leverage of the mount a bit farther away from the side of the aluminum block like OP is using then I’d like to see but this is a nitpick.

I scored mounts from TLC that utilize the GM isolator. The mounts were very reasonably priced. At one time they were developing a kit to adapt a LS into a 60 chasis which included the engine mounts, cross member, etc. Not sure if they are still supporting this project but might be worth contacting them.

Thank you!

 

[jas89]

When did you score the engine mounts? I thought tlc wasn’t selling them anymore? Awesome build you’ve got going on! Look forward to seeing it unfold.

 

[Jdog]

Just need to reach out to them and see if they can help.

 

[jas89]

I guess what I meant to ask you was... Did you just get them from TLC?
Thanks again!

Sorry, yes. Came in Friday. It did take several emails before they replied but I’ll bet a call could generate great results
