What kind of motor mounts are you looking at?

dman1982 · 03-07-2014, 06:57 PM

i got the motor mounts from trans adapt, they were like a 100 bucks or so....i wouldn't use them again, the holes didn't match up the way they was suppose to, i had to drill them out some

dman1982 · 03-11-2014, 09:03 AM

after reading this post again, i just wanted to clear something up, i didn't get the mounts from trans adapt, i got them from summit, i did get my adapter from my 4l60 to my 208 from them, and those guys are awesome....everytime i had a question for them they was right there to help me....the motor mounts i got from summit...i didn't like them, they didn't line up right and i had to fab them up some.

dman1982 · 03-22-2014, 01:03 PM

ls1nova71 · 03-25-2014, 10:15 PM

There's a hose that comes off the middle top of the intake that goes to the pcv valve at the rear of the drivers side valve cover. I can see it in your last pic, was wondering what you had it hooked to.

Edit- I don't know why it double posted my question, my phone was messsing up so I got off line and back on and it double posted it.

dman1982 · 03-25-2014, 10:16 PM

Heck I'm going out now to look at it, I thought everything went into place

so the biggest reason i didnt know my mistake was due to everything plugged in near to where it was suppose to go...either way I'm fixing it in the morning, just took a shower so not going to get dirty...plus i have other stuff i need to do tomorrow since my harness will be here

desertdogg · 03-26-2014, 12:00 AM
