Full Poly motor mount set... Prototype
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

First run is being made now. They made a mold so that they make both mounts at once - for pouring the poly mix, so they will be sold in pairs. I've asked that they keep the front mount seperate &/or double it in the mold so we can get just front mounts (cast poly version of one I make) or a complete set.
The front mount still has to be prototyped for a cast model. The side and rear mount pair should be ready in a few weeks.

Before they cast the lower I would have them seriously consider lower the front Mount point and raise the rear the same amount this slightly clocks the motor and trans forward. Similar to how the shorter dog bone concept is but not as extreme.

Unfortunately I have already paid for the molds for the first two, so it would mean starting over completely. The side and rear were fabricated to match my front mount which is lower than stock, but still uses stock dog bone length. With them all being poly there will be very little movement....

My dog bone is shorter know by about @ 1/2 inch bolt hole to bolt hole. Only reason I ever shortened it up was after looking at a aviation grade digital level on the block with valley plate removed. Its when I noticed the motor was slightly tilted rearward in all brand new minus my poly trans mount. Just food for thought man.

I finally have the first batch of cast poly mounts! It is the rear and side trans mounts, still waiting for sample of front mount.
I'd like to give first shot to anyone that bought my front mount, so you'll have a full set.
The mounts are high quality stainless steel and cast poly = last mounts you ever buy for your LS4. $150 each plus shipping and any PayPal fees, etc.

Just did the DIY version on my Turbo 3800 car, and may look at my GXP's in the future when it's getting some TLC.
You could also do the full polyurethane pour-style (see other YouTube videos for reference). If you're customizing your setup, it's always fun to get even more custom when you can get it right.
