Kevin. Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Gary did you get delrin subframe bushings yet? I know your C has the solid bushings, check out Kaplhenke subframe bushings since you're all about upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow95 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Kevin- I did the C70 aluminum. Delrin is for pussies. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 And since nobody wanted to look up part # to find the answer, part# 8631702 is the 302 version. If you look at IPD they list the mount they sell are the 288 version, (8631698, 9141257, 9209869 8631698V, 8631698, 9141257, 9209869). It's in my first post? I realize they have different part numbers. My question was will it fit/ are the bolt holes different, and if anyone has installed the 8631702 on an 850 or older s70.

J-mart Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 or you can spend $90 or so on a nrg engine torque damper on fleabay, drill a couple holes in the plate that mounts to the strut brace and cut the other bracket to mount behind PS pump. then you wont ever have to worry about excessive engine movement or replace the crappy mount. I did this for Ryan (hotpantslovebug) and myself. solid investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotpantslovebug Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/itm/180827186476?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rmvSB=true Will blow any OEM mount otta the water. Shifts are a lot smoother. swap different rubber/poly bushing out for hardness. I've run both and have had no issues. You get minor feedback from the rack but mine went away after a month or so. One shitty oem mount at the bottom of the engine does not cut it. Well worth the money/minor modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow95 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Looks nice but doesnt do what the front mount does. ps what is the rubber wormclamped on your strut brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-mart Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 then what else does the front mount do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod'sT-5 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The right side mount ( ft of the engine) supports the weight of the motor, doesn't limit engine movement on accel or braking. The mount that hotpantslovebug shows acts as as the upper mount does, to control engine torque under load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this for Ryan (hotpantslovebug) and myself. solid investment As the others said, this only limits torque movement. I put one of those on back when I built my current motor, and with 450AWHP, I still tore the front (under crank) mount off the bonded base. My solution for that issue is wiring the mount. Instead of window -weld, I use strips of silicnone couplers wedged into the open cavities of the stock torque mounts under & on the firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
