Headers banging linkage...or suspension issue I NEED to look at?

Reply #15 –
HAY NOW :hick:
 
 
Whoa wait a sec here....so over-the-counter NON liquid filled mounts are available?
 
I would LOVE to support Chuck and get some of his...but in keeping with my goal of keeping this car original, his mounts would not exactly look correct of course. Also I don't plan on ever having any more than H.O. horsepower in this car, so it's not like I need to plan for the future and beef it up so as not to rip em apart.
 
If that is indeed correct I'd probably go for that. Okay, if I ever need really strong motor mounts!!!!!.......then Chuck you'll be hearin' from me. ;)  Again, apologies for speaking to soon earlier...no hard feelings I hope?

I swapped out the motor mounts on my 88 v6 car with Non liquid filled mounts.  But after getting them out I realized they had already been changed as there were two dead solid mounts in the car.  So if a v6 can tear apart the after market ones I would consider Chuck's mounts a little further.  Plus Looking original?  Paint them black and they wont stand out.

Well....I guess Im a hypocrite.
 
All of that stuff is more easily change-back-able to stock, AND, it doesnt LOOK modified. Save for the headers, you pop my hood and it looks bone stock. Even down the the intake plaque I kept.
 
I dunno I guess it's stupid 20 years from now when it's on a showfield and I want to have it judged and period correct matters...I can change it all back THEN...I guess I'd kinda like as much as possible to stay correct from now forward.
 
I guess if I wanted to do that I should have not TOUCHED this car and just driven it as is. Bleh. I got this place tugging MOD MOD FASTER FUNNER and then the AACA influence tugging ORIGINAL FACTORY CORRECT. Gahh!

I just changed my mounts a few months ago with the hydraulic (I think thats what the guy at the parts store called them). He said they were better than the solid ones?? I figured fluid filled was in there fluid filled would go back in there. Side note once changed the hesitation I had in the motor was almost completely gone both mounts were shot and completely in half...

WOW!  How long did it take YOU to do the fuel lines and brakes on your car?

Better that he asks well thought out questions about something he doesn't have too much experience with then to dive in head first ignorantly and make a mess of things.  Being neat and clean while working on your vehicle makes it that much easier to keep the car looking nice as well.
