We have developed a torque mount for the Volvo 240 redblock motors. The block and rail mount are made out of 1/4 inch 6061 aluminum with #6 heim joints 7/16-20 threads. The adjustment rod is also made out of 6061 aluminum. All of the aluminum products will be finished with anodized black.
Using torque mount will take the stress off the driver side rubber mount. The Drivers side mount tends to shear prematurely especially manual cars. We already tested the torque mount on a b21ft M46 running LH b230 intake shown in picture below. We tested with Yoshifab motors mounts and stock aftermarket 240 mounts. The torque mount does create vibration at idle but it all depends how much you preload the torque mount. There is NO vibration at cruising speeds or decel, but only at idle. The vibration is at a minimal nothing out of the ordinary especially when you are running poly motor mounts. We have ran RSI black poly and Yoshifab motor mounts they also create vibration about the same at idle as our torque mount.
The engine plate mount bolts onto the preexisting block off plate holes located on the intake side. All reblocks b21-23-b230 have this feature on the blocks. The Rail mount bolts to the rail using the crossmember bolts
These mounts will fit all 240 1975-1993 chassis, but only work for b230 1985 and up intake components. The mount clears the AIC/intake support bar for the ones who are running this support bracket. Shown picture below
Early K-jet motors B21F (1976-1982) Sorry these wont fit because of the FPR is in the way etc.
For the ones with 1983-1984 240 this torque mount wont work unless you change over to the new style AIC brackets.
Comes with:
Block mount Anodized Black
Rail mount Anodized Back
Aluminum rod Anodized Black
x2 FK Heim Joints
x2 8MM Allen bolts
x2 10mm nyloc nuts and bolts
