INSTALLATION GUIDELINES for JM500 BombProof™ MOTORMOUNTS:

PLEASE READ THE TERMS-POLICIES ON PAGE 2

D.S. P.S.

Thank you for purchasing M.O.R.E.™ BombProof™ motor mounts. They are designed to fit Jeep® CJ-5, CJ-7, CJ

-8 vehicles from 1972* through 1986 when installing a Ford V-8 (289,302,351, small block) engine. The JM500 mounts are designed to off-set the engine slightly to the drivers side of the Jeep® frame for front drive shaft clearance at the transmission. This means that you must use a transfer case with a passenger side front drive shaft, i.e.: Dana 300, Jeep® Dana 20, Dana 18, Borg/Warner Quadra-Trac®. * 1972-1975 frames require slight modifications for the

JM500 mounts to fit properly.

A short word about Jeep® frames. They had very large tolerances from the factory and the factory used several

“oval slots” instead of round holes to make installing their own parts easier. Add to that fact that most Jeep® vehi-

cles have been used in off-road situations and the frames are usually “tweaked” slightly (or down-right bent!). This makes it very difficult for us to make these mounts fit perfectly. It may take some effort on your part to make them fit as you wish. That is one reason that we ship them un-painted so you can modify them as necessary. They are designed as a starting point and once you have them in place and the engine conversion is completed, you will be very happy with the end product. We have spent countless hours test fitting them on several chassis with several

engine/transmission combos and the JM500’s fit them all with slight, or no modifications. Remember, you are performing a “conversion” and it will require some effort to complete the project.

The frame side of the JM500 mounts are pre-punched to match the holes on the Jeep® frame, and the block plates are pre-punched to line up with the Ford engine block. These mounts are designed to locate the engine in the proper location in relation to the firewall and radiator. We insist that the engine dictate where the rest of the drive train is located. There is only one perfect location. That is where we have located it. If installing a Ford engine in your Jeep® for the first time, simply use the JM500 mounts to locate the engine by bolting the frame mounts to the frame, the block plates to the block, then insert the 9/16” thru-bolts. After the engine is bolted in place, then install the transmission and transfer case.

If you already have a Ford engine converted into your Jeep®, and are replacing the conversion motor mounts with

M.O.R.E.™ BombProof™ mounts, the holes may not line-up with where your engine is located, due to the infinite possibilities of engine locations. Don’t panic! These mounts will still work! Simply “slide” the frame portion of the

JM500 mounts forward, back, up or down, to where your engine is located and weld the frame mounts to the frame.
