Engine Mounts

Well I already ask about the rksport header I am willing to find out cause i love the look, but anyway will the engine mounts for a cav fit my 2.4 ld9 on my alero?


GMR has got nothing on this

They should.

But, best bet it to snap us a couple pics and we can let you know for sure.

ill try and get some pics cause im debating of rebuilding my LD9 considering its my only horse. I was thinking of buying a cav so i have transportation while I rebuild this beast but not sure if i can support the funds of funding the project and car payments on the cav.

no and no. your car has a WAY different subframe under it. our j-body's (on the pass. side) have a lower dogbone engine mount with that side not connected to the front (radiator support).

YOUR subframe was designed to be used with the 3400 V6, so its much more beefier, yours is boxed in on both sides and BOTH connect to the radiator support, actually... its all one piece as our j-bodys have one brace that BOLTS in on the driver side and to the rad. support. yours is probly the best way, but makes the car heavier. your car utilizes 4 mounts, the passenger side UPPER, one on the side of the tranny, one in the front of the tranny (bolts to the block though) and one on the rear of the tranny that bolts near the steering rack. i have no idea if there are solid mount upgrades for these though. ALSO...i dont remember how the engine was bolted down to the passenger side LOWER, IIRC its just BOLTED straight to the subframe over there and the upper mount is the vibration center reducer.

your upper mount is way different, it should have the cruise control unit mounted directly above it, just search out some pictures of an upper 2.4 j mount and compare with yours, COMPLETLY different. they bolt together basically the same way on the block though. A turbo tech racing 2.4 upper mount MAY work, but the only way to tell would be to buy it and test. you would have to fab up a mount to get your cruise unit to stay above it though, which wouldnt be THAT big of a deal... just a PITA.
