Novak engine mounts have been among our flagship products for over 40 years now, and always popular. We've now combined these years of Jeep engine mount design, fabrication and installation experience into our MM Series motor mounts for conversion engines.
We asked ourselves if it could be possible to build a set of mounts that offered:
|
Strength
Their strength is attributable to their good design and generosity of material that features 3/16" steel construction. We believe they are insusceptible to collapse under the forces of even the wildest motors.
Placement & Adjustability
Our mounts allow the installer to make precise decisions as to engine placement in the Jeep’s bay. The included frame brackets are designed to be welded to the inner frame rails. This allows for strength and freedom of placement.
The mounts' design allow for as much as 1-1/2" of engine offset to either the driver's or passenger's side. Height adjustment can be made at the frame brackets.
Compactness
Acheiving a mounting system that is rife with features does the installer little good if they don't clear Jeep steering parts and the predominance of headers or factory manifolds.
| A comparative note about predetermined bolt-in mounts vs. the Novak engine mounting system: We at Novak receive many compliments on our engine mounts. Most customers find that it is liberating and satisfying to install their engine where they determine is the best place. The most prevalent complaint we receive about other companies' predetermined bolt-in mounts is the lack of freedom of placement for the varying situations each installer encounters with their Jeep. Installing an engine based on what may have been a decent location for the manufacturer's design project often presents some irritating and otherwise easily avoidable restrictions not present with a pair of our mounts that offer the installer more options. Cradle style mounts were more popular in the '60's and '70's. We used to offer one. What everyone discovered was that the engine itself makes for a crossmember on its own. Being only inches behind the factory front crossmember, cradle mounts offer nothing more than a hindrance in the engine bay. A crossmember mount is usually the result of trying to retain the use of the factory frame horns that are placed precariously behind the actual mount bosses on the conversion engine, and an attempt to rebalance the situation. |
Ease of Installation
All hardware is Standard (non-metric). You will require a welder or welding service to join the provided frame bracket to your Jeep frame. However, temporary (non-operational, mock-up) installation can be acheived using C-clamps.
Affordability
Our #MM mounts are modular, both in the sense of their construction and in their Jeep applications. We can build and inventory them in the kinds of quantities that help keep their expense in tow.
Vibration Isolation
Each mount kit comes with our high-grade urethane isolators that are gauged well for that ideal balance of isolation and firmness. The large 5/8” bolts and all associated hardware are included. Additionally, Novak will always be here to inexpensively provide replacement urethane bushings, if needed - years down the road.
These Mounts are applicable to the following Jeeps & engines:
