1Bad454 Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 Hey everybody I have a question. I'm looking at Energy Suspensions body mounts and according to their website the MC kit does not include the hardware (sleeves, washers etc.). However when looking at Ground Ups website they list a MC kit with all of the hardware. When I entered that part number on Energy Suspensions site it comes up as a Chevelle kit. I know that both cars are very similar with the exception of the longer MC frame so I think I'll be good with the Chevelle kit. What do you all think? Has anybody here used the Chevelle kit on their MC? Quote
RON T Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 I purchased my body mount kit from OPGI. It came with the body mount hardware, but I’m not sure which brand it really was. Ron.. 1 Quote
jft69z Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 I got the Energy Suspension kits for my 72. After looking at all the different stuff online & seeing some conflicting info, I called them up. You'll need 2 kits, 3.4170G & 3.4171G. Amazon has them cheaper than Summit right now. https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-3-4170G-MOUNT-HARDWARE/dp/B0071L4NMM https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-3-4171G-SUPPLEMENTAL-MOUNT/dp/B01EXKTZRG 1 Quote
Dtret Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 All the parts I have ordered from opgi are for a chevelle and don’t work on the Monte ( they can work with mods) they don’t differentiate real well between the two body styles. I won’t buy anything from them anymore. 1 Quote

It is pretty amazing how factory parts fit like a glove. You would think one would simply reverse engineer the original and quality check after production. Especially with 3D printing these days.

Nothing fits like it's supposed to, lol. I remember a simple air cleaner many years ago that I had to screw with to make it fit. That's when I learned... 1 Quote

Reason being is that's all I need for the moment. Quote

Dtret Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I think the parts place has just the radiator support bushings. Or inline tube. Quote
71MonteCarloMD Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 I bought my radiator support bushings only from parts place. Quote
