V6 Motor Mounts

[donchiotos]

I am looking for motor mounts for Jose's V6 conversion kit. I need the two rubber mounts. The ones I have are cracked and I would like to replace them. Thanks Don C

I'll talk with him either this evening or tomorrow, so I'll ask if he has any, or knows a source.

Thanks! Please let me know what you find out.

Got a replacement set from Rich Gordon, PM him and see if he has any more.
Best of luck!

If you have Jose's earlier style rubber mounts, you might want to check for this application at an auto parts place.

Check this thread for Jose's description:

Change out to engine mounts you can buy from any auto parts store.

My Brackets and the Anchor 2424 are perfect for the V6 Conversion.

Jose type rubber biscuits are basically a "sole source" item. NOt available for parts stores.

Dan,
I sent you a message earlier but not sure if you got it. Anyway, can I use your motor mounts to the cross member welded mounts I did with Jose's motor mounts?

The biscuits are the same size and shape as 57 Chevy motor mounts if you shave like 1/4-3/8 or so off the top. If I recall, the middle is left full height for locating the top mount. At 50 cents apiece from Rock Auto, it may be worth experimenting a little.

But first, what is the problem with leaving them full thickness?

In my case, a hood scoop. That 3/8 or whatever, my car couldn’t afford.

Sorry Greg, but it appears I fail to understand, either your initial post or the design of the V6 pucks, or possibly both. It was my initial understanding that the top puck would have to be shaved. Your second post make me think the load bearing puck is dual diameter.

It’s been a while, but I believe it’s the bottom puck that needs to be shaved. At least I assume that’s why my engine was higher. The 57 Chevy ones come in large and small. The large works for the bottom and small works for the top. But then my memory, like my hairline, is fading. The engine-attached bracket has a hole in it of maybe 3/4. The biscuit bump slots into it. But now that you mention it, why would that make a difference? It’s not like the extra little bit of rubber is gonna keep the engine in place.

Found my squishy old ones, image attached below.
