Solid Motor mounts? Any options? Any interest?
Wondering if anyone can make them or has made them in the past? IF there are none I wanted to ask if anyone has any old stockers I could use to have a solid set fabricated ?

Do you really want to break something?

What would you gain from it? There's a ton of downsides.

Latest version of the stock mount is a good piece.
 Fully captured if elastomer bond should fail.

Do motor mounts ever need to changed on these things? On other cars I have owned it isn't a common problem, but on my 944 they always need to be replaced due to age. If they aren't replaced then the car vibrates a lot at idle.

I'm sure most C4 Zs out there are with their original
factory motor mounts.

From previous experience urethane mounts are best of both worlds. Minimal movement but yet not all the NVH. Solid mounts vibrate everything and in a car that already has a reputation for squeaks and rattles this just sounds like a complete nightmare.

Re: Solid Motor mounts? Any options? Any interest?
I was actually thinking more about a poly mount and not a solid metal mount. I did find a few websites that appear to make them for any application so it shouldnt be impossible. I isn't search enough to be sure if the engine to mount bracket is the same as the LT1 or if the mounts are the same but it appears one of the two are interchangeable.
As far as I see it a stiffer mount will take twist out of the c beam where it is connected to the rear end. I've been in a few cars with poly and they do vibrate some more but they also make the motor feel much more direct and responsive which I like. Worst case I can put them on my 93 LT1 car. With a .700+ lift solid roller cam and tight leave and 370s duration it will already vibrate so some poly mounts shouldn't be noticeable lol! |
