GM Gen. III+ Small Block V8 Engine Mounts
for
XJ Cherokee & MJ Commanche Jeeps
Building the perfect engine mount for the unibody XJ & MJ Jeeps was no small engineering feat. After several renditions and many installations, these mounts are perfected and ready for the Jeeping world.

Strength
The formed frame brackets hug the Jeep unibody frame, creating a plate steel overlay that will add rigidity to this most important part of the Jeep frame. Generous welds, smart geometry and a multiple attachment points will attest to their strength.
Placement
We have predetermined engine placement for the installer. There is a very fine window in which the Chevrolet Generation I-II Small Block V8 can properly fit into an XJ / MJ Jeep, and we've done this design legwork already.
Compactness
The mounts keep themselves out of the way of the steering shaft, allowing the installer to keep the entire Jeep steering system intact and undisturbed. They will also clear the exhaust headers we recommend, our CCXJ3 series blockhuggers. Clearance from all other retained factory components is also excellent.

Ease of Installation
These mounts are a purely bolt-in design. Once the old mounts are removed and the engine bay is cleared and prepped, the #MMXJ3 mounts can be installed rapidly. All fastening hardware is provided. The installer will need to have a 7/16-14 tap to thread a blank body insert.
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.
These Mounts are applicable to the following Jeeps & engines:
