solid motor mount question.

[RenegadePete379]

will the solid mounts trigger false knock on these motors casue i know on the newer stlye lt1 engines when we install the solids we have to disable the knock sensors cause they go crazy.

can anyone confirm that there arent any knock issues contrubuted to the solids as iwant to purchase a kit from rpm but i just want to make sure im not going to bump into this problem.

i did some searching but found nothing on knock issues but ton of people doing the swaps and were to get them.

Re: solid motor mount question.

I run solid mounts, no complaints, a little bit of vibration but not that bad. I have no knock issues.

I have solid mounts also with no knock issues. Very little vibration felt at idle.

I am using Moroso mounts. Got the pads from one of our venders but I can't remember who.

On my other Ty it has one of those braces from the alt to the frame. This is a good setup.
Something you should consider.

If your motor is out either one would be good. If not the bracket is much easier to install.

I run only one solid mount on the driver side where most of the torque goes when launching. I also run a poly-mount unit for the tranny.

i just noticed the frame pads on the truck are solid already at least the ones that mount to the frame are, all i would need to do is order the mounts that bolt to the block in order to have solid mounts from what it looks like.

Re: solid motor mount question.

unless you have aftermarket motor mounts already they will not work the stock frame pads... you need to purchase RPM or JSM frame pads

You still have to change the factory frame mounts to use the solid engine mounts.

would that not be the same thing?? :dunno:

Re: solid motor mount question.

no i just thought you could use the upper halves from the moroso kit and then the lower frame pads from factory and just pass the 7/16" bolt thru the middle unless the bolt diameter is different then i dont understand why this wouldnt work.

Wrong height, wrong width I believe. You will have to change the frame pads no way around it other than fabricating your own.

You can try it, but it will not work. Take the advice that was given in the above posts.

Don't even bother trying... $80 is beyond his budget. You might get an offer of $30
