This version of our TJ / LJ mount is for GM Gen V (LT series) V8 engines, entirely replacing the existing Jeep I4 or I6 frame mount.
Removal of the factory frame mounts for both 2.5L I4 and 4.0L I6 engine Wranglers is required. This is best done with a separating disc, plasma cutter, torch, or reciprocating saw, followed up by a grinder or flap-wheel.

Features
Ease of Installation
These mounts are available in either weld-in style or bolt-in style. Detailed instructions will guide to an ideal installation.
Strength
The Novak mounts feature thick 3/16" laser cut and CNC bent steel construction. Engineered using a welded box design geometry to provide maximum strength and assure that they will survive even the wildest V8's.
Vibration Isolation
Each mount kit comes with our high-grade urethane isolators that are specified for that ideal balance of isolation and firmness with the power of modern engines. Substantial 5/8" through bolts capture the assembly.
Compactness
Geometry of the mounts is compact to provide clearance for all stock components including the steering shaft and exhaust headers.
Engine Mount Finish
The frame side brackets are designed to be painted or coated after welding, while engine block plates are treated with a rust resistant coating and can be painted to match your build.
