BWoody Engine Mounts (Teaser Pic)

TheWastedYears · 08-12-2006, 03:38 PM

So, I'm sitting up here at BWoody Performance, ad we thought you guys might like a "sneak peek" at the solid engine mounts, powedercoated "Bass Boat Blue."

They're being installed as I'm typing this. Stay tuned...

Sweet................

which mount is that? I don't recognize it....

TheWastedYears · 08-12-2006, 05:03 PM

I'll show ya...

Front Mount

Side Mount

Rear Mount

These things rock. Absolutely no engine movement whatsoever. Tiny bit of wheel hop if you're REALLY going for it. Mike shifts a LOT harder than I do (and my clutch hates his guts.)

There's some cabin vibration at idle, and during 1st gear enagement, but it's not too terrible. Better than most solid mounts I've dealt w/.

I'm gonna spend some time putting them through the paces and logging w/ HPT. I'm curious to see how this affects the knock I normally log between shifts.

Steel plate. The lighter color piece on the side mount is aircraft grade aluminum.

They're less... imposing... than the stock mounts b/c they're not cast pieces, but they're damn strong.

Try bumping your idle up a few hundred rpm, that got rid of almost all my vibrations at idle with poly mounts.

I idle at 800 RPM, and it's livable. The vibration is such that you can tell the engine mounts aren't stock, but the chick in passenger seat isn't going to start smiling.

But she'll thank you when you let the clutch out in 1st.

How much and when will they be available?
