Broke an engine mount, wanted to know what's inside. Lot's of big pictures

If the aftermarket hasn't caught up yet, great opportunity for -someone- to design some and fab 'em up. Old school style, metal brackets that interlock without touching, and sandwich 'em in some high durometer polyurethane. All that engineering wizardry in the stock mounts has gotta be to keep vibrations down, but it's nuts. Maybe on paper from a damn seismograph they work well but we see how they do in the real world.

I'm really curious what LMR is using on their 1400 hp truck and what ta7akum is doing on their 9 sec trucks. But guys like that don't like giving out info for free, I don't blame them either. I haven't tried asking either.

If I had 1400hp under the hood the engine would be attached to the frame with a motor plate! I wouldn't trust even a set of fabbed solid steel mounts bolted in a position where the bolts could rip out under torque.

And wait, if he owns a business and gonna make money off the mounts, how come I gotta supply the mounts? (I get where he's coming from though, not enough of them will be sold for a while to recoop his investment into it since they won't sell like crazy probably ever)
I hear that, but with my bank account I'm not gonna have to worry about that happening lol

I have a gauge for that

I actually have poly mounts for 99-14 trucks I've been selling for over a year, and also have one designed and built for the gen5 direct injected engines I've had finished for months I just need someone to test fit them for me and verify fitment. If you want to do that I will make you a great deal. I've sold hundreds of my mounts of both styles and never broken a single one.

I have headers too and may have to take you up on the offer, if I do I can give you an idea on fitment there too. So far I know it's a bitch to change the driver mount with headers.
I made the assumption they may not sell all that great, I forgot the 07-13 trucks use almost an identical mount and those are being modded like crazy.
Sucks I just dropped $100 on a mount and now I'm fixing to PM you about the poly ones.

And the DOD thing makes sense, appreciate that info. I did PM you and I'm going to lunch finally so if you respond I'll get back to you in an hour or so.
