Instructions
This version of our TJ / LJ mount is for GM Gen III & Gen IV V8 engines, entirely replacing the existing Jeep I4 or I6 frame mount.
Removal of the factory frame mounts for both 2.5L I4 and 4.0L I6 engine Wranglers is required. This is best done with a separating disc, plasma cutter, torch, or reciprocating saw, followed up by a grinder or flap-wheel.

Features
Ease of Installation
These mounts are weld-in. Detailed instructions will guide you to an ideal installation.
Strength
The Novak mounts feature thick 3/16" laser cut and CNC bent steel construction. Engineered using a welded box design geometry to provide maximum strength and assure that they will survive even the wildest V8's. When the option is available, we recommend the weld-in version for strength, simplicity and just a cleaner installation. If a welder is not available the bolt-in is an excellent option saving that step.
Vibration Isolation
Each mount kit comes with our HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) isolators — the latest refinement in Novak’s ongoing material development. HNBR delivers superior resistance to heat, oil, and the demanding conditions of the modern engine bay, providing the ideal balance of vibration damping and long-term durability that conventional rubber compounds cannot match. Substantial 5/8" through bolts capture the assembly. Replacement isolator sets are available below should replacement ever be needed.
Compactness
Geometry of the mounts is compact to provide clearance for all stock components including the steering shaft with its pillow block and the recommended exhaust headers below.
Engine Mount Finish
As the mounts are welded to the frame, any finish on the frame side brackets as well as the frame would be burned. You may enamel, powder coat or otherwise finish the bracketry and adjacent frame area to your own style. Engine plates are coated in a rust resistant finish but may also be painted.

Be aware that some LS3 Camaro accessory drives will set the alternator to interfere with the Jeep TJ steering gear. A Corvette C5 style drive is better or consider a third-party accessory bracket option.
