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

I doubt anyone who has been on this site, has had the need to go for full solid mounts. Most everyone finds the polyurethane acceptable for their application, especially a 5s. Youd more likely find solid mounts being used on a 3SGTE

But yeah, you are going to have to pioneer this one out man. For the side mounts I cant imagine it would be that hard to do. There are plenty Fab Shops in NY (as I am sure you are aware) that would be more than capable to perform this task

good luck
