2 questions!

Hey guys I have 2 questions.


1. my motor mounts sucks and I’m not trying to pay rediculous prices for solid rubber mounts. I’ve seen on here you can do the hockey pucks, my question is how many pucks do I need to space the engine up to the same level as the stock mounts? Has anybody done this and wouldn’t mind sharing info??

2. I’m wanting to build custom upper and lower control arms, the stock bushings suck cheecks. I do have new arms and bushings about a year old. going with heims on the contact points on the body side. My question is, where can I find the ball joints needed to be able to connect the new arms to the spindle?? I’ve been looking around and can’t find anything, there plenty websites that sell the tubing and heims but I can’t find any that sells the ball joint portion needed to connect the arms to spindles.

This is the idea, just need a lead on the ball joint side. Thanks in advance!!

What makes you think your motor mounts suck?

There's nothing inherently wrong with the stock UCA's and LCA's. I'm still running stock control arms on my car. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

You could always add a torque chain like Racecougar did for that monster motor of yours. Give Rod a shout. I'm sure he could hook you up with everything you need.




If you really want to beef things up. I recommend something like this.

I have a block strap with fluid filled mounts, works great. I can see how much the powertrain moves very easily with a manual trans shifter and it barely even vibrates anymore, let alone jerk to the side at WOT like before without it.

Nice Matt. Didn't know you have that on your car.
