Well, I was driving home tonight and BANG, the passenger side motor mount bolts sheared off and the motor dropped just enough that it punctured the radiator too : (

So now I have two questions:

1) What is the most popular/dependable motor mount replacement and

2) What is a good replacement radiator. From a quick search tonight I see a plastic/aluminum one on summit for 127 bucks and a copper/brass one for 209. I am thinking the plastic/aluminum is too cheap to be a good part but I would love to hear opinions.

Also, anyone that has experience drilling out the three sheared bolts on the passenger side I would love to hear your experience.

Thanks,
John

 

When my radiator died I went with an all metal CSF 3 row radiator. You can get them on radiatorbarn.com for just under $200. They're a lot better than the stock 2 rows.

 

I just bought 2 Poly motor mounts on Ebay for $69.99 shipped. they seem to be holding up well!

 

hi mate, when i did mine they were on passerger side...i drilled into the sheared of bolts and used easyouts...i had to take battery out move window washer bottle ..unbolt mount and move that right out of the way...its tight but can be done and not that bad......have a look at this link they talk new mounts, and theres a link on the drill tool you can use...hope it helps.

 

it took me 45 mins to do the first mount.. and about 4 to 5 mins to do the second one.. both should not take you more then an hour total!


and the radiator is easy too, take off the grill, header panel, and drain the rad, another job that should take about an hour

 

use grade 8 bolts (grade 10 if you can find them) with locktite....
