well went to go start putting my head and intake manifold back on after getting it port matched and ported and polished and this is what I found! a ******* broken engine mount, WTF! does it ever end? lol not that mad about it I knew I needed them but didnt think I would break one before throwing or bending a rod!

woah, you snapped the AWR rear mount...I hoped that was impossible, but I guess not...I read the title and thought you tore a stock mount or something...

Good luck dude, seems to be a great build...
 
i have my rear AWR mount here, and its welded differently- looks a lot stronger than yours was welded.
 
Is that an AWR? It doesn't look like it has the right bushings in it. Here's a picture of an AWR from their website. The bushing tube is longer and the bushings stick way out the sides. Is that a stock motor mount? I thought mine was painted black when I took it out.

no there not the AWR ones. They are stock. Will be getting the AWR ones this week though. Is there any benefit to getting the M/T's over the A/T's performance wise?
 
the MT is hard as hell, you'll feel the engine moving (which I kind of like, IMO) the A/T bushings are softer and you wont feel as MUCH engine movement. Either way, you'll still feel PLENTY of engine vibrations ;)
 
yeah I have both MT AWR mounts installed...and I actually really like it...it shutters a bit at idle, and initial throttle openings...but it is NO WHERE NEAR as bad as everyone made it out to be a few years ago, IMO at least...

the only thing that is definately different is the amount of noise though...You can hear the engine climbing revs a lot louder than you could without the mounts...
