no they didnt pull out at all but long term i would be wondering that myself, and didnt wana take the chance of something happening, FWIW the studs were a ***** to get out i ended up stacking washers and two nuts to tighten them to break the lock they were inside and then back them out, so atleast i got that part right lol. Thats why i drilled it out to install the metal sleeves

thats a great deal and by the time you chop your forst mount youll have enough to make a motor mount if you please or sell the rest back to the community kind of like a gift that keeps giving lol
Re: Custom Poly Trans mounts done Updated 3/7/13
Hmm, I think I might have to make one of these... I was going to copy your setup (dimensions), but non-GXP models are going to be different comparing the mounts (new).
This might be a winter project, so that I can duplicate the original off the car. Thanks!
Re: Custom Poly Trans mounts done Updated 3/7/13
The mount I used was a GTP mount the dimensions for the poly block anyway. Also the Gxp and GTP trans mounts are the same the bracket is just cast aluminum nd thicker but no change.

Right on, that's good to know! Are you keeping the mount as-is, or are you going to make further changes to it? Possible to put up your spec sheet on it? ie; hole locations from left/right, top/bottom, etc? I was trying to make sense of the picture you uploaded, but the resolution isn't good enough to make it out!
Since I work in the truck/car industry, I have a lot of hardware laying around. I am sure I could find proper sleeves and corresponding threaded rod to make them more "oem" like.
Thanks

Did you end up making a corresponding engine mount? I finally decided to take some measurements of the stock mounts so I could gather the size needed to take on the project. The engine mount seems like it'd be much more complicated to make. Almost looks like I'd need to try and re-use the bottom plate, and use something like carriage bolts to fasten the poly to the plate and so on.
