Default shaking of engine....

ok i have noticed that since all the mods i have done.. my motor shakes.. i was told it was just the torque of the motor then i was told it was the TB. it shakes my engine all the way to the back of my exhuast tips... i thought the motor mounts might be lose but had them checked out.. and they are good.. i was just wondering if that is normal with anyone elses SS's?

yes its normal prolly so much so that ur exhaust hits the frame or something...the stock rubber mounts are most likely worn so just jack up the motor and get some poly ones in there

My engine shakes / jumps, always has. Lighter-
mass block will wiggle more on any misfire /
near miss than a heavier one, against the
similar rotating mass to other V-8s. And the
closed loop engine management does not hold
a constant AFR, but is always messing it around
looking at cross-counts but this also means
mixture excursions that can flirt with near-
misfire and make torque ripple / jumps, the
engine shake is the reaction torque of the
excess/dropped pulse against the flywheel.

Mine does that too.. and when the clutch chatters it will move an ASSLOAD. At idle, it looks like it has a broken mount, or a misfire.. but I don't think it does. I think they are just a bit weak. I bought poly mounts, and they are in the process of being put in now. I will let you know how it goes.

Peace,
Josh
