Motor mounts

[ratsunissan]

im looking for a set of stock z24 engine mounts for my 86 720...i cant find them anywhere. does anyone know where i can some?

[Guest Rick-rat]

Rock auto would be a good place to look

[datzenmike]

Do you mean the metal attachments on the sides of the block? or the rubber isolators? The rubber isolators are likely available but the metal motor mount brackets are easier to find in a wrecking yard.

[ratsunissan]

yeah im looking for the actual mount not the bracket but thanks rick-rat ill check now

[datzenmike]

The rubber isolators are all very similar. The 720 are not wedge shaped. That looks like an S13 motor so are those the 240 brackets? Or from a D21 Hardbody? Because they are at the wrong angle to the frame on your 720. The rubber mount should just be sandwiched between. The Z24 motor sits in the same position as the KA and is a similar block. I would try to find a set of 720 engine brackets.

I dont know how bad you need them but i have some. I actually have the entire motor that i will be pulling and will not be able to use the existing mounts for the motor that i plan to install. But all of this will be probably a month from now.

datzenmike i have my original z24 still but the brackets are different and wont work on the s14 motor. but the motor im using is a 95 240 and those are the stock brackets but with my 720 mounts. i know there at the wrong angle so i am either going to shim the mount on the frame or underneath the actual motor mount itself and weld it to the frame seeming the holes dont line up anyway

[datzenmike]

What about a pie cut and let it close up and weld it. Probably lower it too much?

[ratsunissan]

yeah probably...my oil pan is pretty close to all my steering and centerlink already

I used the Truck KA brackets with 720 motor mounts (dealer is the only place I was able to find the correct ones new).

I had the same angle issues and the location of the stock frame brackets was too far back. I cut off the frame brackets and re-welded them at the correct angle and forward.
