Engine Mounts Motor Mounts

Anyone rocking Johnny Joints for engine mounts? I was thinking some adjustability would be nice since my frame is completely custom and if I am off a touch it would be forgiving with powertrain angles.

Just weld your shit straight.

I think Johnny joints would give you too much flex/wiggle room for the engine. Just do rubber mounts instead of poly and measure a lot to make it straight relative to your customed frame.

I used metalcloak duro flex joints for motor mounts, build is not done yet so I can’t say how they’ll do. I’m going to use the same joints for my trans/ T-case mount.

If you want adjustability they have threaded poly mounts that are identical to a Johnny joint but use poly instead

How have these joints worked out for you?

I used Barnes builder bushings for mine. My chassis mounts have a slot for a little adjustment.

Unfortunately I haven't finished the build yet. I've been slacking pretty bad.

bumping this up....other motor mount ideas? This is kinda nifty if you needed to raise the rear of the drivetrain to pull a case or trans.

I didn’t even think about that… but that makes a lot of sense as well!

How would you do that without raising it up to pull it off the mount in the first place?
