My 2001 Z28 6MT is in need of a transmission mount. It sees regular autocross duty now with a mild STP/CAM-C setup. I do not drag race and I haven't been on a road course with it yet, but that may change.
It is driven daily, year-round in NJ. Would an OEM replacement trans mount suffice, or should I install a poly mount? I have a poly torque arm mount and the motor mounts are still OEM rubber in case that matters. What do the experts suggest? Thanks! |

Right, the LS mounts bolt the rubber to the motor while small block mounts bolt the rubber to the frame. To get the small block frame mounts out you have to fish sockets and wrenches into the frame through the control arm brackets and hope nothing falls into the middle of the cross member.
Either way, I would only change the motor mounts if they're falling apart. |
