V8R Billet motor mount
#83
Thanks guys. It is for my street car but is not a daily driver by any means. I already have delrin diff mounts in the rear and I don’t mind those. I feel like it doesn’t make sense for me to have the delrin mounts in back and only MSM mounts in front.
I just dont want it to turn into a complete rattle trap. I guess I could always resell them

The old style Cadillac set i drove @Bryan 's car with at MATG this summer felt awesome though. Way smoother and quieter than the AWR mounts i currently have in my street car. They were 100% street car appropriate.

Bought these in the 62 duro on black friday and just got them installed. Holy hell there is a lot of vibration. It's as if my entire car is a speaker just sending vibes and pulsing noise, blasting at my ear drums. Adds much more NVH than my delrin diff mounts paired with MSM motor mounts. My horn (aftermarket) was rattling against something like crazy so I had to bend the bracket. Vibes are noticeable below 3k RPM and get worse approaching idle. I absolutely would not buy these for a daily driver; don't even think about it. I don't daily drive this car but if the mounts don't break in a at least a little bit, I will probably be posting these in the for sale section.
The improvement on shifting is amazing though. Also, the clutch engagement with my FM happy meal clutch and 10lb flywheel is really nice now. Used to have a good bit of chatter and now it doesn't really seem to chatter. I'm really hoping the mounts just break in because I do like how the car drives now other than the noise and vibration.

James check very carefully how your motor is sitting in your engine bay. Make sure it's not tilted, make sure the oil pan and header/downpipe are clearing the subframe. The 62A mounts that i've driven that fit properly don't really fall in what you're describing, or at least what i'm reading.
Yeah, they vibrate a little more at idle, but they're not several magnitudes "worse" than Mazdacomp mounts. And really only vibrate more between 500-1500rpm.
Now... if they don't fit right, that's a whole 'nother ball game. They'll make the AWR 70A mounts feel docile.

I'll tell you one thing that surprises me about these mounts is the lack of space between the folded steel sheet metal part of the mount and the billet AL part that houses the bushing. That means these mounts are not allowing much movement at all. There's maybe an 1/8" of space in there. I'm sure it's a good design considering the less space there is there, the larger the bushing can be. It just surprises me how little movement is allowed.

LOL, nah it was 2018. I'm as surprised as you are. I received them in a little over a week and that was with delays from Fedex. They are even listed as out of stock so I'm not sure how the hell that happened. The fitment was fine. I guess the vibration is more than I was expecting though for the "soft" mount. Like I've said though, still got to break them in.

Maybe I'm a big sissy boy but I'm pulling these out. Even if they "break in" a bit, I can't imagine these being acceptable. This is not the direction I'm going with my car. It's too damn loud in there, really. I can deal with the vibrations, but it sounds like a damn bass drum in my hardtop only car. I can barely hear my FM 3" exhaust (which is pretty quiet though). I'm picking up some comps and calling it a day.
