Installation

This kit bolts into place, and we recommend a weld on the top lip and optionally on the sides for added strength.

Strength

Built with thick 3/16" laser-cut, CNC-formed steel, these boxed design mounts are tough enough for high-output V8s.

Vibration Isolation

Each kit includes Novak's high-grade urethane bushings for the best mix of engine isolation and support. 5/8" bolts retain the setup securely.

Compactness

The compact geometry clears factory steering, pillow blocks, and exhaust headers.

Engine Mount Finish

Paint or coat the frame-side brackets after welding. Engine plates are rust-protected and can be painted as desired.
