Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

Ok guys here is the skinny i will have 8 sets available next week. Guys i want to be crystal clear in saying we made these mounts to try and help members with some fit issues and i will not guarantee fit on every application as there is no way to guarantee this when putting anything aftermarket on a classic vehicle. Also on that topic i will say that if you have a set of new tubular mounts and want to exchange them i will do that. (MUST BE NEW RESELLABLE CONDITION). Also guys over the years i collected some data on headers that seem to work well for customers and they are as follows.
Hedman 69646
Hedman 69096
Doug Thorley 3004

Guys the new sheet metal mounts are made with no room for improvements we got an additional 1 1/4" clearence.

Also i worked with Doug Thorley direct and they made headers for the LS motors that work with our tubulars and would might even work better with the sheet metal mounts. The part # is THY-323Y-C
Hope this info helps!!

wow 700 for those headers , ill have less in the hole exhaust , I feel slightly better , glad I can weld , got the passengers side done , drivers is next Ill try to remember to post some pics hopefully the new mounts work with stock manifolds , ill bet they do if you are getting over an inch more clearance , looked to be about 3/4 of an inch interference to me

Yeah bro post some pics and we will see how it turns out. Thanks for chiming in i appreciate all the feedback!:metal:

Thanks for posting pics.

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

The 2 hedman part numbers are for sbc, and I didn't find a Doug Thorley part number 3004.

What are the Hooker headers in those pictures you posted a while back?

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

Those "THY" part numbers are the current Doug Thorley header numbers and the work really well.

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

So I bought those new motor perches and they are simple and well made. I still had to remove my manifolds though. I'm not worried about that part yet because now the oil pan is catching the crossmember. I think these new mounts drop the motor a little bit lower? I'm not sure. I'm trying to figure out a solution to to this. I wonder if I can modify the oil pan? Have someone cut and weld it for me.

Right on brutha! Bolt em in and lets all check it out!:metal:

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

Alright guys i just want everyone to know this was user error, in NO WAY was it CPP's fault. The product was perfect i just pushed it too far. I have another on the way as we speak so i can get this damn motor in! :ito:

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

No big deal brutha! That kind of stuff happens, did you get a new mount? I can send you one if you need one.

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

Yes i bought a new mount from you guys yesterday over the phone. I should be getting it soon! From the look of the pictures do i have the motor blocks the right way?

Re: Say it ain't so CPP Motor Mounts
 

Hi Jeff;
The new engine perches are a much improved design and I can tell by the pictures that there is much more clearance for headers/manifolds.
I applaud CPP for listening to feedback and going back to the drawing board on them to create something that is a much better solution.
It's bitter sweet for me though because I could have used these new perches about 3 months ago because the old tubular design has caused me many headaches, and pain in the pocketbook because I had to buy the Doug Thorley headers which is $600 I didn't build into the budget, It would have been so nice to be able to use the TBSS manifolds like I could have with the new perches because that would have saved me a lot of money.

One other thing I would like to adress while you are around, I want to make you aware of an issue with the 3" forward adapter, it is 1" too far forward for the Vortec, only a 2" forward adapter is required to clear the AC compressor bracket, when I found this out I tossed the CPP 3" forward adapter in the scrap pile and called it a waste of $69 and designed 2" forward adapters and had them fabricated locally, here is a picture so you can see what the proper adapter looks like.
I would be happy to send you the CAD drawing with dimensions and measurements for the adapter so you can press them into production quickly and have the right adapter for the application.
Also can I send my tubular engine perches back and trade them in for the sheetmetal ones, and send my 3" forward adapters back for in-store credit?

Now how about some cpp mounts for big block conversions in the 63-66 c-10s
