Art Morrison motor mounts
 

I was working on mock up of ls3 and t56 in 69 camaro with morrison gmax subframe, for some reason when I set the engine in the frame the lower edge of the motor mounts hit the frame before the holes line up, I can get one side lined up with the bolt through but not the other, the paperwork says tri5ls1, I am wondering if this is a different motor mount for another chassis or if they are all the same, I could possibly trim off aprox 1/4" on each side but thought I would ask for advice before I do anything and it's to late, any thoughts?

I dont know if you have tried to call them. But I ordered some headers from them and they were for a 2nd gen but the paper work read 67 chevelle. I called them and they were having a staff meeting so I left a message. With in an hour they called back and told me the headers fit more than 1 car. But they were extremely nice and took the time to talk to me. So just saying give them a call. Bill

Agree w Bill. Great guys over there.

I had the same issue w my AME mounts. Needed some interior trimming to clear the round tube. Also did not set the motor back as far as I wanted, but worked out for my engine bay alright.

I had same problem I had to trim motor mounts for my ls2

I also had the same problem with the Art Morrison LS motor mount kit in their Camaro subframe. Had to trim the mounts too. I e-mailed them two days ago about the problem but have not heard back. Funny you pay a lot for all their stuff but things do not fit.

Had to trim mine also.

I wonder what the problem is?

Bump. Curious if they responded to anyone's emails.

My Art Morrison mounts fit fine a few years back when I assembled my AME subframe. Something must have changed. I used their headers too.

Why don't you just give them a call? I have always found their service to be excellent.

I gotta chime in here. I can totally understand why people would ask on any forum about a problem with a product. It's VERY easy to be involved in a project when the manufacturer is not open. However, the manufacturer should be the first person to get a shot at correcting the issue. After that, then you can discuss the outcome. Think of it this way. You sell a car to another Lat G member. The buyer has a problem and posts the problem on a forum before ( if at all) contacting you. Just something to think about. Once again, I know it's easy to post first, but try the other route and you may be surprised.

I do agree, I also I have realized that there are many different options for parts available for these cars, I can handle modifications here and there, I think that I have higher expectations for many of the aftermarket parts, You pay good money and shouldn't have to modify, I also called morrison, I was told we don't build these cars, I understand that so I go to the forums for info from guys that do build them and work on them everyday, wether as a hobby or profession someone has run across the problems I have had as well. I truly think the best answers come from this site and the guys that build the cars. I did call manufacturer and they said sometimes you have to trim, I just would expect bolt together stuff for the money, and hate to go cutting on new parts.

plus you can't buy the experience that exists on this site alone. you get everything sorted out Travis?

Yes Vince, I got the clutch, and brake setup mounted yesterday looks good, I will mount mc and prop valve next and start running brake lines, Thanks for the help.

Sounds fair enough to me. It sounds like you gave the manufacturer a shot at it and then asked on the forum. Kudos to you and thanks for clarifying. Best of luck on your project!
