Jesus auto correct on the phone murdered that one. Trans mount I'm referring to the driver side mount. Are you using solid poly like I am or using a molded piece

Any update on this?

Transaxle has to come out for the rebuild, so while I'm at it, I want to change all of the mounts.

Also, is it worth changing the subframe bushings as well?

Still waiting for a quote on a production run. That and it will be good to see how they handle Pimpala's over boosted LS9 Cam combo...

So looks like I'll be able to get the two cast mounts (rear & side) in @ 3 weeks. I'm in the middle of moving so I'm not sure when I'll be able to make a front mount next. That said, the front is easy to change if you have to do it later.

I should have pricing tomorrow.

Any update on the price?

Also, would the 1" shorter dog bone have any effect on these mounts since they're pretty much solid?

So it looks like the mounts will run about $150 plus shipping... Not too bad considering they are small volume cast poly with stainless steel - should be the last mounts you ever buy for an LS4! I'm using my last fabricated front mount to get a molded front mount prototype done so we can get all 3 lower mounts in cast poly.

No, the shorter dog bone will not work - with how stiff the poly mounts are it won't line up. The mounts have been fab'd up & test fit with the ZZP polished dog bone, so I'm going to see about doing a bulk order with them so every mount needed will be in one box...

Thanks!

That's not bad considering the low volume.

How much do you think adding in the front lower mount would add to this cost?

And to clarify, the ZZP polished dog bone is only a cosmetic change, correct?

Hey man,

I've got prototypes for the other 2 lower motor mounts - they are pictured in the beginning of this thread. This way we will be able to have a full set of poly motor mounts.

They should be available in a few weeks.

Just so we're clear that's $150 per mount.. Trying to get the set of 3 for $400.

The polished dog bone is more rigid as well as cosmetic, but shouldn't be necessary with 3 lower poly mounts - stock dog bone will be fine unless the cosmetic is the important part.

You want to be first in line ??

Cheers
