Thats what I have a Hemi on Speedway mounts, I will be buying CE mounts for sure.

So if I have biscuit mounts up front I should NOT use a single mount on my trans? Should I figure out a way to put mounts for my bellhousing? I'm running an early cadillac 331 with the cast half-bellhousing and bolt-on half-bellhousing/starter housing with an adapted saginaw trans. I bought a solid single saginaw mount; should I put mounts on the bellhousing too?

Thanks!

 

Who was that then ??? Your link isn't working.

 

AN OLD THREAD BUT STILL RELEVANT.can anyone advise how tight should the thru bolts should be .I was thinking take all the slack from the nut and bolt and tighten down another 1/2 turn not unlike a hydraulic lifter thanx im using chassis engineering biscuits.

 

Another query about these,how much movement are you getting in the mounts backward and forward,if any?
I see Henry had stabiliser arms to stop the for and arf movement in some models.
My clutch peddle Mount is on the chassis with a link going to the clutch lever(mechanical,no hyds as per flathead style) hence the question about the movement.

 

i just replaced the buscit mounts on my wifes 43 last week. when i was building the car i called DRAKE to get his mounts w/steel band, he was out of them, i used a set that looked the same but NO steel band like Henry used. the unbanded ones smashed down about 3/4 in. pulley hit crossmember, was able to jack up eng enough to replace bisqet. cheap ones $19 pair, Drake's $50 pair, use banded ones like Henry did.

 

I bought some from Reds headers, they're urethane like the energy suspension mounts.....I think they're made by flatattack down under.

Im not aware of any movement. using the banded ones from chassis engineering,i think the bolts are on the tight side

 

Cool. Cost? Nothing on their page. Gary

 

When I got them a few years ago they were $20 a pair plus shipping.

 

Old thread, but good info........I just spun some shims and set them inside...... Solid, with a lil variance.

 

I used Chassis Engineering ones with the bands until I stepped the engine up, then I had a pair made out of T56

 

Do you have any engine vibration with the solid ones???

 

i used something similar to replace the rubbers when setting up the motor mounts so we could weld the brackets to the chassis without melting the rubbers

 

I run solid mounts in all 3 cars, they're hot rods, not Cadillacs, but no I don't notice any vibrations personally.

 

Sorry to say, Red's no longer has them. Here is their reply to my inquiry. Bummer-wa. Still looking.... Gary

"Yes we used to offer Urethane motor mounts that were very nice quality, but unfortunately the manufacturer has discontinued them. We ran out of stock last year. Sorry for the inconvenience."

 

Those are called stay rods if you want to read up on them, basically trying to stop clutch chatter.

 

That's a bummer.

 

I machined a pair out of aluminum to use during fabrication. The new ones from Drake are great.

 

I purchased Trans-Dapt and they appear to be the same as the CE unit. Ask me in five years if they are any good. $31 and change.

I had problems with the speedway ones that came in a "kit". but the ones they replaced it with have been fine,
here is the thread:

checked the mounts the bolts were not tight I could turn the bolts so I tightened up a bit until the bolts could not turn easily.should be ok now only a few hundred miles done and just bedding in I think
