I guess I have no idea where the poly mounts are located but I'm looking to possibly replace them with some new ones.

Thats the link to the pair that I can get but im not sure exactly where they're located and wondering if one of you can post a pic or explain where they are so I can check them as well to see if they are ok and if they even need to be replaced.

These go in the upper mounts, the ones bolted to the core support where the dog bones mount. You have to get the stock rubber ones pressed out and these pressed in.

Can you get a picture of these stock ones so i know exactly where? Im still not seeing where they go exactly.

Inside these.

Oh wow! I feel almost retarded but it doesnt look like a part that would fit there...I was thinking it was something on bottom side of engine. Would it be worth it for me to get them on my GT?

Polly mounts will keep the motor from rocking thus putting less stress on all the other mounts. I say go for it. But dont get the offset. Get the regulars.

Sounds like a simple mod, I take it you just remove the top mounts or is it part of it?

what is wrong with the offset ?

You unbolt the dog bones from the big piece (circled in the pic). Then unbolt the big piece from the core support, take them to a shop that has an arbor press and have them pressed out and the new ones pressed in. The reinstall and brag that you now have poly mounts.

If you ever plan on headers. Never buy them. If you dont plan on headers. Knock yourself out.

I know of no places that have an arbor press. Yah I should maybe do a mod that I know for certain I can do myself and one that needs to be replaced. If theres another way to press them in without an arbor press im up for that. Oh and dont worry im sure I wont forget to brag lols.

Most repair shops have a press. SOme vehicles require the wheel bearings pressed in and out. SO most places have them. If not I'm sure you could take your dear old time and cut the old ones out them possibly use a rubber mallet to pound the new ones in. It will be time consuming tho.

Well im def going to consider this mod its either that or getting guage pod and guages.

I'll take poly mounts over a guage pod and guages. I want rid of my pillar mounted boost guage. Its is PITA more than anything.

Well true, and I have my volts meter already down in the lil change holder area. It's really the only guage I see being useful to me considering i have the 3 amps in back and cap. Other then that I guess guages would be useless to me. As for the poly mount, I want to do it but not sure how that would go. I'm considering a strut brace bar now (change mind quickly but I guess you guys are here to help me make a gd decision). If it wasnt for your response shaker I probably woulda boughten the poly mounts and gotten them and wondered what to do.

Is that worth it?

It just seems and sounds cheesy to me.

You can try sticking the poly mounts in the freezer then pounding them in with a rubber mallet.

Yes, that spacer is BS.

What a waste. Just man up and push it in.

No.

I ordered the poly mounts in red. Once they get here im sure ill be posting on here about needing help installing them. Lol hammer time

I got the intense polys (for both front and rear of the upper mounts), they made a noticeable difference. But then again, my lowers are shot.

Well I went out and looked at my stock rubber mount and its very small. I'm still not 100% sure where these poly mounts go. Does anyone have a write up or a picture with the new poly mounts in?

I could take some pics, but they really don't look much different from stock. They're solid, but that's it.

The poly ones don't fit totally inside the dogbone mount. There's a lip on em.

Installing the new ones requires nothing more than a mallet, simply because it's a tight fit.

Getting the old ones out however, is a real PITA. I suggest WD-40, a few hack-sawy blades, and a couple beers.

Hammer Time.

Every time you see me, that Hamma's just so hype.
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic.
Now why would I ever stop doing this?
When others makin records that just don't hit.

I've toured round the world, from London to the Bay
It's Hammer, go Hammer, M.C. Hammer, your Hammer
And the rest can go and play...

Ok just remove your dog bones the part were the dog bones mount to the rad side are the rubber bushings you will replace ,you can remove the stock bushing using a sharp thin serated bladed knife cut a wedge out and they will pound out easy ,as far as putting the new ZZP poly bushings in they're easy since they're two piece they just tap in with a small mallet ,all in all they should take about ten minutes to replace .Chico(pops)

Honestly, for a GT with your mods, I would just rotate your stock mounts 90* and that should be pretty close to the gain from ZZP's mount and it's free!

I noticed a lot smoother shifts, especially 3rd to 4th, and a little better pickup since the engine wasn't moving as much.

It's worth a try at least, if you're not satisfied then go ahead and order the ZZP ones.

I rotated mine as well and they did work a little better.

However, the agony of trying to actually TURN them is another story...

Well like everyone has said the stock ones are satan when it comes to getting out, ill be glad that i can just cut them so i dont have to reuse them or try to even rotate them, sounds like a huge pain.

Took me 10 minutes to rotate mine.

Just take the dogbones off and put the screw and bolt back in mount and tighten them up as tight as you can. Then take some WD-40 and spray around all the edges of the mount. After that just take 2 sockets on either end and rotate forward. It takes a little effort but if you used enough WD-40 there should be absolutely no "agony" involved.
