Gen IV 5.3 Vortec in 1997 Tahoe motor mount questions Hi there,
I just removed my old 350 Vortec and I am on the way to give the Gen IV engine a new home. As it is an '07 engine with the cylinder deactivation setup I read that those types of engine use special mounts to cut down the vibrations which happen when changing the active No. of cylinders or when in V4 mode.
The traditional way to mount those engines is an adapter which converts the new 4 bolt style to the older 3 bolt style and also takes care of the position. These won't work with the new style mounts on the Gen IV engines. Also the older style mounts where angled like the V of the engine. The new style is just vice versa. Pls don't start suggesting to deactivate the active fuel management. I try to have the best milage possible. I live in Germany and our gas is 1,57€ a litre ( about 9.12USD for a gallon!!)
Any ideas? Did anyone a GenIV conversion and kept the active fuel management??
Thx in advance
Harald
here are some pics of the mounts:
