Just like the title says I just got done tuning a twin turbo 5.3 regular cab truck and he is doing well over 500 rwhp and tq. He wants to put in poly motor mounts but I cannot find any for his turck. TIA

I went to my local dealership and checked on this. The part numbers were different and according to the diagrams on the computer they looked completely different. I have had my engine out and know what the LS1 f-body mounts look like but have never seen the 5.3 mounts.

i made my own for my vr6 vw gti. I checked around to see what durometer others where using and well being a machinist doesnt hurt. Every day at work theres four VMC's and two 5 axis live tooling lathes I get to program (play with) 
I wouldnt consider this for my truck tho. With its AWD and slam shifting it does with the transgo/servos it would transfer entirely too much torque back into the motor/body for my likings.

I'll tell ya, I have poly mounts on my engine/tranny and kinda wished I stayed with rubber. You don't have a healthy cam do you? My 502 has a bit of a kick at idle that wouldn't be so bad with rubber mounts.
