Western star and Mack had similar ideas on engine mounts however Mack Mounts are better ! Way easier to remove than Star in most cases due to the clutch arm on the star!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70520-e9-bell-housing/#findComment-510958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post R.E.D Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2022 Try to get the steel Bell housing not the aluminum one...the torque from the e9 will probably end up ripping the insert rivets and the mount will fail.Had this happened to me with an e7. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70520-e9-bell-housing/#findComment-511015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
