Daverse 175 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Best way dude, get stuck in, scuff your knuckles, lie to the wife and step back and admire your work. Then get someone to do it properly Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk VR6Pete and palmer 2 Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 You'll need to swap that front mount for a Vibratechnic or solid one. Link to post Share on other sites

CALICO 130 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 The more power you have the more the engine tries to twist you can crack exhausts etc because of the movement I was going to go the turbo route so changed mine anyway but have decided not to bother now.

Lukey. 381 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Even changing to uprated or solid on standard is a good idea, the front cross member is bushed too so can move about also. Link to post Share on other sites

B-Man 16 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 or you can drill out 4 hockey pucks and replace the rubber inside the mount...Hey Chris, do you have any pics of this?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
chrisvr6t 19 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I don't have any pics but it's quite simple to do it's just take off your front engine mount completely off the crossmember take it apart slide the old rubber of the stem inside get 4 ice hockey pucks drill out the hockey pucks center and put it back together job done, and repeat the same with the rear engine mount..
