Default Motor mounts oh motor mounts

Finally put in my fortified motor mounts i was suprised at how easy the front was and the rear. I used window weld mixed with about 10%jb weld to increase the strength and longevity. also drilled holes by the studs to get all of the hydraulic fluid which is more like dirty water lol. Filled with poly till it came bulging ot the other side i drilled. I then went around the outside to make sure the rubber was secured to the metal base and attached lock wire from one side to the other to prevent it from seperating under power like 99% of these shitty mounts do. before i did my mounts my alternator pulley sat below the strut tower and now sits up way higher. cant believe it took me so long to do this and wonder why i had issues. All you need for the front and back use 15mm nuts however the rear you will need to take the passenger side CV axle out out to unblot the 4 15mm nuts from the transmission. for the front you will need a swivel and a handy magnetic telescoping wand thingy autozone sells which i used to thread the nuts on just enough to bolt on. will post the pics if you have questions let me know.

The carnage of v8 and FWD and shitty mounts

Very nice write up.
What did you wrap the front motor mount in?

reflectix HVAC heat reflective tape from home depot my logic is keeping the heat
from destroying the integrity of the rubber over time.
