BUICK 231 V6 UNIVERSAL ENGINE MOUNTS

These Universal engine mounts are designed for use on all types of 4WD and 2WD vehicles that have frame rail widths up to 26?. The frame brackets can be used in either the upward or downward position for best engine location. The brackets can be either welded or bolted into position. If you are dealing with a vehicle that has an open channel, then you should box in the frame rail prior to mounting the new bracket. Several holes have been stamped in each motor bracket to allow the engine to be offset or centered in the frame rail. On 4WD Jeep and Toyota conversions, it is best to offset the engine 1? towards the driver’s side. The height and lateral location of the motor is determined by the placement of the frame brackets. When trial fitting the motor into the chassis assembly, the motor brackets, insulator donuts and frame brackets should be assembled. Make sure that the dual donut rubber mount assembly is properly assembled for maximum engine insulation. The final position should take into consideration the following items: 1. Firewall clearance 2. Oil pan & harmonic balancer clearance 3. Hood clearance 4. Radiator & fan allowance 5. Steering box and/or linkage clearance 6. Header/exhaust manifold clearance 7. Distributor accessibility 8. Starter motor clearance on front driveline SPECIAL NOTE: Modifications to the engine mount arm brackets may be necessary on certain installations. The mounts may need to be shortened in order to fit between frame rails. The hole location for the rubber mount position may require a new hole or slotting between two of the holes.
