I haven't been getting on JKO all the much lately and for some reason my notifications were off. Email or phone is always the best.I agree. But for the work involved the Novaks would save me $~100.
Or engine-side mounts using the JK frame side mount would be the simplest.
FWIW, I did PM RPMExtreme asking some questions. He got on that night or the next day and no PM has been returned... he had been easier to get a hold of by phone though.
Are frame mounts work with a Hemi, LS and we use the Grand Cherokee isolators that are in our BOM page.I need new engine mounts since I had to swap frames for the 07.
My swap was an RPMExtreme kit using Jon's frame side engine mounts which use the GM engine isolators.
His mounts are $299 + $31 to ship
I've PM'd Motech and JohnP to figure out who I'd get the frame mounts from now; waiting on replies.
Neither website is easy to figure out a price/availability. Also not sure if they can use the GM engine mount, or what exactly I'd have to change to use theirs.
ETA: JohnP said they have an engine mount using the JK frame side mount.
Novak makes an GEN III/IV LS engine mount that is frame side and engine isolator as one package.
Novaks price is $212 + ?? shipping.
JSS... unclear what the **** I'm looking at since I have to watch a video to see the product. I'm guessing its the engine side mount, that bolts to the factory JK frame side mount? Who knows though, no description on the site, and no technical details in the video.
Anyone else know any other options?
My motech kit from 2.5 yrs ago was mostly ditched since I too had a build ending up like yours. No room in front of the engine right up against the fan, no room to get a 3 inch elbow air tube on, even with having shaved down the stock jk fan shroud on my 07 jk. Then on top of it I was given a radiator in my kit that had the inlet and outlet both on the passenger side. Bottom hose had to route there with a spreader tube and the top hose had to cross over the front of the engine right where the air elbow already couldn't fit!2 year update.....
Getting back to working on this and I find I have a clearance issue with the stock 3.8 fan / stock radiator or the RPMextreme radiator / 3.8 fan and the front of the engines mechanical fan snout.
I bought the MoTech engine side mounts that utilize the JK frame side mounts. It appears the engine is now forward a bit from where it was with the RPMextreme engine mounts, but why? Unless the detail I'm missing is the MoTech mounts are designed for a kit that MUST use the Pentastar radiator fan?
And, how much more low profile is the Pentastar fan than the 3.8 fan?
