Looking For Solid Engine Mounts For My 5S-GTE E153 Drag Celica Options

[eazy2001x]

Hello,

I am looking to finally drop in my engine and transmission. I have a 94 celica with a 99 Solara E153 transmission and a 5S-GTE engine. I am looking to get custom mounts made up and possibly a custom cross bar. I would like solid engine mounts, I’m not looking for poly mounts and looking to put down close to 800WHP. What are my options? I remember seeing the hard target celica in NJ years ago and he had a custom timing belt side mount that was shaped like a triangle and hung the engine and all the other mounts were solid. I am looking for a solution similar to that. This is going to by a 85% drag car 15% street. So I can care less about vibrations. I searched thru 15 pages of post and gave up so now I’m asking.

Thanks,
Eazy

Solid mounts should be easy to fab.... they are a hell of a lot easier to make than poly. It's just metal, any local machine shop should be able to make them.

He'll just get some thick ass steel and make them yourself.




That said, I agree with smaay. Why is poly not an option? I have 750 whp in the rx7 with poly mounts and no problems. That's with only 3 mounts versus the 4 that are in the celica.
