Well Jorsher has a set of EF B series mounts that are for a cable tranny. He is doing the hydro tranny with conversion and said he has to get a full set of mounts that are made for the hydro tranny and motor with hydro tranny. My question is: Is there a difference in the motor mounts them selves or just the tranny mount? I tried looking it up, but all I find is people talking about the hydro conversion itself and not the differences in the mounts.
-
i believe its a different trans mount only.
-
That's what I was thinking as well. Would like to find out for sure as a new tranny mount would be a hella-va-lot cheaper than a whole new mount set.
-
Just a different trans mount

Good to know, should make Jorsher happy since will only have to fork over cash for one mount.

One motor mount, three tranny mounts, only one is correct,,,,,,,,,,

Damn it, for some reason I was thinking it was the other way around.

What swap mount set uses all 4 locations for a EF/ED chassis?

in ef's its all different except the engine side, eg's and ek's would only use a different tranny mount, but the rear mount is cool

Yeah, just gonna have to replace the set.
I thought something was up when the mount wouldn't go where I thought it should go. The rear mount looked like it may work but I never fully mocked it up since the engine isn't completely put together. Trans side mount definitely wouldn't work.
Oh well.
And no this set does not use all 4 mounts either. Is there anything that does have full frontal action?

AS a general rule, no. The front trans mount on ED/EF chassis cars is usually an additional option when you are using aftermarket mounts/ I really see no need for all 4 when you have aftermarket urethane mounts. The drivetrain to chassis connection is incredibly solid with just the 3 mounts.
-
Yeah, wasn't going to go out of my way to have it, but figured it wouldn't hurt.
If I see one with it when I buy the new mounts, I'll grab it, otherwise, fuck it.

hcp use to have a front mount and so did place racing. both companies went belly up years ago.

Agreed. With my traction bar I only run inserts in the other 3 mounts and I don't have issues
