<strong> I too did the "Ryan K", #3.1116 mod... This is one of the 10 best LS1 mods to do.....

As Fireball stated, the insert is "snug-as-a-bug", in the LS1 "clamshell"...
That is a big, big PLUS with this mod as you will never get "flex" with this tight fit... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
For this reason alone, I KNOW, that this setup, WILL be better than any other vendor made mount for our application...

Sometimes, "HotRodders", ideas are better than any others, AND this is one of them... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Thanks Ryan K. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It is also correct that you will need 3 washers to correctly space out the mount on install... This is cool, & doesn't cause ANY need for operational worry...

I only did the drivers side, as I have NO engine movement & NO NO NO NO vibration, ZERO, NONE, NOBODY could even tell that you replaced the mount... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I can't even feel any difference with my own car !!! You can SEE the difference, blip the throttle, The engine doesn't move !!! If I blipped the throttle for you, you would start looking for a "Madman" motorplate setup...

No need to do both sides. Think about it for a second, You wouldn't put a torque-strap on both sides , would you ?????? Just ask the GN crowd, they only do the drivers-side... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Fireball comfirmed my fears that replacing both sides will lead to vibration... <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

I've had just the one side now for approx: 6 months or more ,& it is one of the best mods that I truely belive that EVERYONE should do. It works very very well. No need for torque straps, or other "patch-work" "micky-mouse" type shortcuts...

There is more info about the poly mounts in the post below.

He used bolts I am sure. Anyone know what thickness washers I need?

 

Hey Guys, I am glad this is working out for you! I still love the poly mounts. Drive ability is completely unaffected with the Poly motor mounts.

If you guys have any specific questions about the mounts or how to get it done, let me know.

Ryan K.


As far as washer thickness, just standard everyday washers, I am not sure. Its not an exact thing. They should be Approx. .3" total.

Is there still no mounts available for the LS1 motor? The LT1 is what we use? Where can I get pics?

This mount (poly insert) looks different but similar to the ENS- 3-1116G that Ryan used. You can see pictures there as well.
