[Fot] TR4 Motor & Transmission Mounting

By coincidence, I also use the Land Rover mountings : they are hard and very strong and fit without modifications on the chassis.

I've used heavy duty front mounts from Cambridge in the UK.  The standard ones I'd kill in a year or two, these have been in the car for probably 10 years and are rock solid.  Shipping was almost as much as the mounts themselves.

Hello All,
I was thinking of moving the entire drive train appx 1 inch back but have changed my mine. I didnâ€™t know the sanctioning bodies would not approve. Its not worth the hassle!

I did find out that the old TR Bits does sell upgraded front motor mounts. About $40 each. Has any one used them or something close to this?

I don't know why you would need to.
I have an IRS car with coil overs on the front and made adjustable spring perches for the rear, I use a lightweight battery behind the passenger seat and my car corner weights to 49.9% cross weight. I could have nailed it to 50% but settled for the .1% off
It's surprising how well these cars will balance without a lot of effort.

you would be surprised what an inch difference in weight placement makes in the corner weighting of a car, especially the engine and trans. If you've ever used a tongue scale to balance your trailer load you can imagine what moving the engine and trans will do to a 2000lb car.

Moving the engine mounting point is not likely to move the CG.

Anyone have any experience with moving the engine mounting rearwards to

possibly improve weight ballance?

Any improvements to just the engine or transmission mounts?
