O"Rielly's doesn't have a listing for a Typhoon so will mounts for a Chevy Blazer work? Thanks

Ok great...are the best just OE replacements or should I look for something else?

You may want to do solid mounts. Do a search on motor mount replacement. I went with solid mounts and am glad I did. They are not very easy to change out and I sure don't want to replace them again. These trucks seem to be hard on motor mounts. I can feel a little vibration at idle, But not much. While driving I can not tell any difference.

Re: Are motor mounts for a 1993 Chevy Blazer correct?
The only thing that scares me about a solid motor mount is the added vibration going through the drivetrain accelerating the wear on the other componants. I ordered an engine tie down so the excessive twisting of the motor will be kept in check but the vibrations at idle and when not under boost will me absorbed by the mounts. I will be going to Napa I guess and getthing the CV axles and the motor mounts tomorrow I guess. What makes replaceing them so difficult? Is there anything that might make the installation a little easier? Thanks

Re: Are motor mounts for a 1993 Chevy Blazer correct?
It is just so hard to get at the mounts. There is a good writeup on changing them out. If you do a search you should be able to find it. I can remember part of it. The bumper needs to be removed,The lower heat exchanger, The cross pipe needs to be removed, You remove the upper differential bolt and I think four more bolts on the pass side and let the diff. swing down. and also remove the front wheels. I am sure that I am leaving out something so you should do a little research. It was not a very easy task for me. I did mine by myself. If you can get someone to help you it should be a little easier.
