Need EXACT MEASUREMENTS of Motor Mounts Comrades,
I am in need of the exact measurements of the motor mounts. With the help of some other enthusiasts (on this forum), we are attempting to create an alternative and I (of course) am willing to be the test subject.
In order to get this off the ground, if someone can post or PM me the exact measurement of any mount (stock or creative steel), I would be much obliged.
Thanks in advance,
LAW

Which part do you need measurements of? The rubber oil filled mount of the aluminum pieces that bolt to the mount and adapt to the cradle and engine?
I have a couple stock broken mounts I could measure up if need be.
Let me know.

Need every dimension of the oil filled (stock) mount. We are working on a piece that will work like these aftermarket poly mounts, but yet be indestructible. They will fit between the two, stock aluminum pieces.
Thanks man,

Since the aftermarket, poly mounts don't have that kind of "give", anyone have measurements of those?

I have a customer thinking about doing some solid engine mounts.
How is the increase in harshness and noise?
I have driven other cars that had solid mounted engines and transmissions but never a V.

Chitown,
That woul be perfect. Thanks man.
Ecotec,
I undoubtedly know that they should transmit more vibes than a poly mount. However, I doubt it is bad as some may assume. Since many people have recanted their statement that engine mounts are causing the harsh vibes after it was discovered that the tranny mount was the culprit.
Either way, I am willing to try it out and report back. I'm on the stock mounts at the moment so i will notice any change and relay that info to the Collective.

I would prefer a urethane bushing - I'm not making enough power to destroy a urethane bushing...but I do have the ability to fab up that looks like a solid version of MM's.

I made some delrin and steel control arm bushings and a trans mount in my lathe for another project car of my own and they worked great.
Do you guys still want stock mount dimensions or not? I could put stock ones in a press to simulate the load if need be and take measurements from there. Let me know

i never sold any, i made them for myself along with posted some cad pics. as for the 'jonted' version, it was far too ridgid for my tastes and removed at which point i poured my own urethane mounts. i figured since the $400 d3 mounts were done so poorly (first gen) that I couldnt do any worse. ( and i didnt 
)
problem is that the urethane mounts deform *some* with heat and that needs to be considered. I believe delrin would be too rigid. a cast hard rubber solution would be premium.
some say they dont care if mounts transmit some vibration and just want it to hold the motor still. same people that are fine with a solid axle conversion, no cats, and a solid roller cam.
in a cadillac, none of the above is OK for me, and the 80A urethane was my solution.

Now that I think about it, I was using delrin because I did not want the squeaks you get when sliding polyurethane against steel.
It probably would be too rigid for most.
How do you like the urethane ones you made?
Heat shielding would be a must.
