There's a post at one of the other sites today about these also, and they included a photo.

The mounts appear to be the same as the Chassis Engineering mounts, also sold by Speedway and Eckler's.

As I understand it, they bolt right in, but they raise the engine a bit. This either leads to the transmission to tunnel clearance being too close or zero, or you get tempted to increase the engine angle.

Because they use a rubber biscuit between the frame mount and engine bracket, you can substitute a thinner rubber biscuit to lower the engine back to stock height or close to it. That's been detailed on trifive.com by 5557B210.

While Wiliams and TCI sometimes collaborate and sell each others' stuff, not the case here. Also be aware that there are now 2 styles of Williams mounts. Get the newer ones, they are better.

Thank you for the update Rick, i will visit the other site and read up on there as well. One reason i bring up the TCI mounts is in the header thread i posted earlier today http://www.trifivechevys.com/showthread.php/2661-source-for-trifive-headers they mention the use of TCI mounts work well with there headers.
