Ease of Installation
These mounts are a choice of either weld-in style or bolt-in style and detailed instructions (see the PDF link below) will guide the installer for an ideal installation.

Weld-In Version
Removal of the factory frame mounts for both 2.5L I4 and 4.0L I6 engine Wranglers is required. This is best done with a separating disc, plasma torch or reciprocating saw, followed up by a grinder or flap-wheel.

Bolt-In Version
The bolt-in version of our mounts uses the factory I6 frame horns, which will be bolted through the top and be trimmed back for clearance and drilled and bolted or optionally plug-welded at the flanks.

Strength
The Novak mounts feature a thick 3/16 steel construction and a welded box design for the maximum strength available. They employ the best engineering and geometry to assure that they'll survive even the wildest V8's.

Placement
We have predetermined engine placement for the installer. There is a very fine window in which the GM Gen. III+ V8 can properly fit into a TJ Jeep, and we've done this design legwork already.

Compactness
The mounts keep themselves out of the way of the steering and its pillow block, allowing the installer to keep the entire Jeep steering system intact and undisturbed. They will also clear the exhaust headers we recommend, our CCLS1 series blockhuggers. Clearance from all other retained factory components is also excellent.

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, graded 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.

Engine Mount Finish
You may enamel, powercoat or otherwise finish the bracketry and adjacent frame area to your own style.

Installation Notes
These mounts feature an integrated platform for the reinstallation of your steering shaft carrier bearing bracket, as you will be removing the factory version. If installed correctly, the safety of your steering system will meet or exceed the factory specifications.
