Drop Mounts?

BlackPearl955.0 · Feb 17, 2008

Im looking for motor mounts that lower the engine so I can fit a larger intake on the 347. Are solid drop mounts what I am looking for? how much lower do mounts like this compare to stock mounts?
How much vibration will a 347 make on solid mounts? anyone with solid mounts (any engine size) how much vibration do you guys get?
Anyone have drop mounts? where do I find quality ones? any other types of mounts I should look into?
Will the change in mounts change the angle of the motor? and if so will it effect anything?
What is the biggest intake you can fit under the stock hood?
I do not want a cowl hood it just doesnt fit into the look I want, If I have too though Im going for 2.5"

Not sure if this will be of much help, but Saleen was able to shoehorn a 351 under the stock hood on the S351, so I might be inclined to see what mounts they had. Solid mounts would rattle the car like crazy. A buddy of mine had them for a bit and went to some polyurethane mounts after being tired of the constant shaking.

You could space the k-member down a little.

Not saying that I am jumping on that Idea but how would I go about doing that?
Anyone know the mounts used on a S351? that would be nice to know
I am looking into box intakes or something like a systemax of victor 5.0, I am converting it to a fox style tb so i can fit some nice VCs on the heads.
These are some of the intakes I am looking into

These are the Valve covers

The mounts STILL NEED SUGGESTIONS ON THEM AND OTHERS

Could I mod or get some like this to work?

Not mine but I love this engine

Yes ... Saleen did the Windsor with the stock hood

but

The intake he used was an OEM Cobra

IMHO ... That intake will choke down anything that flows decent

I still want to stick on the subject of motor mounts but I am thinking of a 150-200 shot. would 30# injectors be enough to handle all this power of do I need more?

earleys94gt · Feb 17, 2008

30's would be the minumum I would do with a 150 shot. You may need 36's if going to a 200 shot.

On the mount question, I thought convertible mounts sat the engine lower than coupe mounts. I could be wrong on that though.

Shoot a PM to S351R"Animal" and see if he knows. He'd be the first person off the top of my head that would have an answer for you. He's owned several of them.

I pm'd you hope it helps!

For those that are curious what I have found out is he used 83 convertible mounts and cut them to lower the engine. Then he notched the K-member 3/4in rearward and set the motor back.

Since the intake didn't flow as well as he wanted he Extrude honed them. The early cars he cut/ welded the upper plenum and added an inch or so. He must have got a deal on the extrude honing because for the price of honing you can buy another intake!

so much work just because Im to stubborn to get a different hood
But the stock hood is part of the "vision" I got

The O.G. · Feb 18, 2008

i thought most of those intakes would fit under the stock hood

your boss block a bit bigger?

BlackPearl955.0 · Feb 19, 2008

No Its the same size... I think. Never really thought about it. but im pretty sure hood clearance will be an issue.

The O.G. · Feb 19, 2008

lots of people running that edlebrock intake with stock hoods

i didnt think those boxes were that big

dont know many with the saleen vortec intake ,it looks nice

there is a flow chart iv seen it didnt seem to flow all that great.. iirc
