    Question Heavy-Duty V6 Engine Mounts -Do they exist?

    I put new engine mounts on my VN, but after a few dyno runs and occasional flat-footed driving (no burn-outs either) they are quite soft only after 1000 kays. Not good when there is only 10mm clearance between to Supercharger housing and the bonnet

    Are they any heavy-duty V6 engine mounts available that don't move excessively like the standard hydraulic mounts?

    Yes! I have seen race mounts on eBay. They have very minimal flex, strong and allow quick easy undo single bolt to pull motor out. Obviously would conduct vibration a tad more into chassis but hey who really cares if your after more performance over comfort.

    yep, get the TTT mounts. they are designed to lower the engine a few extra mm's for blower applications (about the same height as sagging standard mounts).

    Cool

    The only good thing about the old saggy mounts was the lower engine
