Engine mounts 350 Olds

[dr78442]

I've been looking for solid mounts and haven't found any, the ones on that link are for a Small Block Chevy, I have asked on here but nobody answered, UMI makes ones for Olds motors but they say it may interfere with headers, check their site. It's times like these the low usage of Olds motors really frustrates things

Check out Dick Miller racing. I bought my set of solid engine mounts from him and had no trouble with headers

What mount did you use?, the 5400SM? Did you do anything with the frame pad, do you happen to have any pics of your set up? Olds stuff is kind of new to me, small block Chevy is the clamshell in the motor, the pad has rubber in it, to make it a solid mount you change just the frame pad. On an Olds wouldn't you need both halves to make it solid?

Yes I used the small block mounts 5400sm. On an Oldsmobile engine the rubber is on the engine and the frame is solid metal. The exact opposite of a chevy engine. The factory frame mounts in your cutlass will remain and replace the rubber engine mounts with the 5400sm. When I get home I will get some pictures.

Teezy, what engine was in your cutlass originally? Also, why do you want solid motor mounts?

Orginally i think it was a diesel 350, I bought it with a chevy 305 that wasn't bolted in right in the first place.

Pictures of the passenger side mount from the front. The gold is the frame side and the black is the solid mount from Dick Miller. The driver side I couldn't get a clear picture. Hope this helps. I just noticed both pictures are upside down sorry about that. If you click on picture they show up correctly

Yes that helps, so the gold frame pad you just reused the stock one
