I will ask for others with the JBP header, how much is slightly closer to the firewall?

call down buddy.first off im a flat rate tech. so i dont have that kind of money to shell out for some mounts. this would not be the first time i rotated mounts thats not that hard to figure out. all i wanted to kno is if i did that then all i would need to buy from you is that key hole spacer and how much would that cost me.

The key hole spacer will not be sold seperately. This is a kit, also the mounts are offset the motor is what is rotated.

would we have to revert back to the stock engine mount once installing these mounts or would my solid engine mount be just fine?

im also a little concerned about firewall/floor clearance as i have a clear image mid length header. im not so concerned about that as i am my exhaust as i built it to sit quite high in the tunnel as it is (its all custom). this is something i can change however.

very interested, im sick of the driveline vibrations.

So is this how the stock LNF cars come stock or is applicable to them aswell? Are these stiffer than the stock bushing at all? The stock LSJ mounts were horrible and allowed TONS of movement. So yea these might help with wheel hop and axle stress but what about power transfer? The stock mounts pretty much let the engine flop around like a fish our of water will this prevent that?

Thanks man, He PM'd me. Yeah. My 2.4 Is horrible right now. And with building my head up in January, I'm thinking i need some more supporting mods. So, You've got at least one 2.4 that is 110% in on this.


I don't think i've had it over 85, But it has been a solid truck. I love it. Only gets driven on good days :-)

So if it is moving the top of the engine forward, how does it affect clearance for the blower pulley?
Right now I have the 80mm pulley on the Harrop and there is little clearance between the pulley/belt and the front upper frame rail.

No stock lnf cars just come with different bushings. These will work on lnf's, for the lnf you would just need the stage 1 and skip the stage 2. These don't allow much movement at all way less then the lsj bushings and slightly less then the lnf. Because of them being firmer they will help with power transfer also.

i think you should buy a smaller pulley

the Koni cars used a stock pulley thats bigger than 3.1 so unless the harrop is taller i cant see an issue, the actual movement is not a landslide here, and there is a reason beyond cost that GM didn't incorporate the idea in the LNF, their requirements for clearances are way beyond what you and i consider, things like front barrier crash movement, that is to say movement of the transaxle which is designed to go down and not straight back into the driver passenger compartment in a crash, and also GM have clearances for exhaust etc etc it all goes on for ever the criteria that have to be met.


At the end of the day they did not not do it, your fortune is that Josh at OTTP is selling the solution and it will most likely work for you with a Harrop.

speaking of clearances my compressor housing still clears the firewall, not bad considering it's a t04e.

i may have missed this , but what exactly comes with the stage 1 and 2 kit??? is stage 1 just the front mount and the rear spacer (no rear mount)??? is stage 2 the front mount, rear spacer and lnf mount insert??? is the core charge included in the price or is that over and above???

I just want something that I know is going to work. If it does help eliminate wheel hop, and it'll work with my tvs and jbp header (no comment...) and with less vibes, I don't care if it costs a little to get it. I just want something that works.

I just hate feeling I'm on the inside of a vibrator everytime I start my car. My girl said she enjoyed it at first though.
