View Full Version : Low-Profile body mounts?

Does anyone make body mounts in either delrin or poly that are shorter, to lower my '69 Chevelle's body over the frame about 1/2"? I don't want solid, and I want it firmer than rubber.

Will it work? or will there be clearance issues with the floors somewhere?

With my LT1, I'll have way more hood clearance than I need, and i'm not afraid to hammer on my trans-tunnel. Valve-cover to Power-booster clearance should be OK, and I think I can adjust the front bumper brackets enough to line it up good. Anything I'm not thinking of?

Not sure with the Chevelle, but I know on a 1st Gen, the tranny will hit the tunnel for sure.

Why don't you want to go solid?

Have you driven I-90 lately? :eek:

I'm a little worried about NVH. I've never ridden in a car with solid. I'm going to have all solid spherical bearings in the rear, and delrin lower/ solid upper bushings in front... yet I want it to be a daily driveable.

Body bushings won't be an issue with everything else near solid.

I'm running solid body mounts on my camaro and dosn't feel any different than my friends cars running polyurethane bushings.

You may have issues with the header collector hitting the floors.....
