il take 2 mounts also as long as i get rid of my dog mount
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
I'll have about a quarter inch clearance between the right fuel bowl and the master cyl, most of the rotation is front to back anyway, with these, and my almost solid dog bone, it should reduce engine movement way down.
I noticed that the EFI engines had the cast bracket.

Oh sorry, I meant a single mount(NOT a pair), coated is fine.
Yeah Im wanting a pair, or 2 mounts.

my hatchback is an 87 lxi made in japan and has the stamped mount bracket.
Not to scare you, but I believe there are 2 different front mounts for the Accord.
Reason why I say this is because my original front oem mount was an inch shorter than ones at auto parts stores. They all say 86-89, but I believe somewhere along the line the 2 differnt height front mounts got combined into only one higher mount. Not to mention the higher mount has a longer bolt.
SO basicly there is a higher mount(longer top bolt) used with the cast bracket, and a shorter mount(smaller top bolt) with the stamped steel bracket.
I was also going to use the gm trany mount as Sean had used it on his with a custom front bracket for his turbo setup, but decided on full custom instead.
After going to every single auto parts locally and running into the same problem, I finally just started using rear mounts in the front until I got a custom one. The mounts sold at all my local auto parts stores were an inch too tall along with the longer bolt. I installed one just to make sure I wasnt going crazy and it made my engine sit uneven and much higher in the front.
on another note I have never seen a 86-87 with a cast bracket. They were all stamped steel. I also thought the cast bracket was a revision for the 88-89 as those are the only ones I have seen with the cast bracket.

You would easily be fine with just the mounts. But since you're using the dog bone bracket for other stuff, I agree you might as well keep it.
I appreciate the offer, but it's not necessary. The material isn't expensive so it's not a big deal.

That's some good info there. It's not surprising that the aftermarket mounts would be wrong for some years. Pistons are the same way with the top dish that's bigger than on the OEM pistons on the '88-'89 FI engines.
So what this means is that if your engine happens to have the cast bracket, you might have to swap it for a stamped bracket to use the poly mounts. Or come up with some sort of spacer to take up the difference. Although that would need an even longer top bolt so switching to a stamped bracket is probably better. It's lighter too.
So do any of you guys on the list have a cast bracket?

count me in... 1 pair (front/back)
Uhm, well when I swapped in that 89 fi motor it came with the cast bracket. However I couldn't find the bolts for it so I put the stamped bracket and it worked fine.
Any news, about to rip my old engine out...

I have all the material but haven't been able to do much with it. Just too much damn work to do at the moment. And unfortunately I don't get paid by the hour.
The next few days will be hell but we should be over the hump after that. For a little while anyway.

$25/pc powdercoated? I might be able to get them made cheaper for you. Where I work, we deal with tubing fabrication (we build magazine/candy racks for grocery stores). We also powdercoat in-house. If you'd like, I can get a quote, to see what I can get them for.

yeah. I'd be interested in getting a pair of mounts as well.
Lostforawhile:we have to pick on him he's CAH he spray painted himself into this corner with the accord.
I can't make them without specs and an OK from Angus. Its his project.

Hey guys, I haven't forgotten about these. Just been busy with work and other higher priority projects. I fully intend to get back to this when I can.
As for farming out the work, I do appreciate the offer but it would kind of defeat the purpose of me doing the job at all, which is to make a little money on the side by building cool parts. I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to make these work, so it would be nice to get something back for that. And besides, welding and machining is the fun part! If I was going to outsource work it would be the boring stuff like shipping and order tracking.
Oh, and my name is Chris not Angus BTW. You're thinking of LX-Incredible.
Anyway thanks for hanging in there guys. We'll get there.
