aFe PFADT Engine Mounts C6 Corvette (2005-2013)

Improve drivetrain stability, throttle response, and power delivery with the aFe CONTROL PFADT Series Performance Engine Mounts for the 2005–2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6. Designed to replace the factory rubber engine mounts, these performance mounts feature upgraded polyurethane bushings that help reduce excessive engine movement during acceleration, hard launches, and aggressive driving.

Factory rubber engine mounts prioritize comfort and vibration isolation, but they can allow increased drivetrain movement under heavy loads, particularly on Corvettes equipped with aftermarket camshafts, cylinder heads, superchargers, or other performance modifications.

The PFADT Series mounts feature CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum components, replaceable polyurethane bushings, and nickel-plated steel brackets for improved durability and drivetrain control.

Engineered as a direct replacement for the factory mounts, this system helps improve drivetrain stability, reduce unwanted deflection, and deliver a more connected driving experience.

Product Features

• Reduced Engine Movement – Upgraded polyurethane bushings help minimize excessive engine movement under acceleration, improving drivetrain stability during aggressive driving.

• Improved Power Delivery and Launch Consistency – By limiting engine mount deflection, the PFADT mounts help maintain a more stable drivetrain under load and can reduce drivetrain movement that contributes to wheel hop.

• CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction – Precision-machined aluminum mount components provide excellent strength, durability, and a lightweight performance-oriented design.

• Replaceable Polyurethane Bushings – Unlike many factory rubber mounts, the PFADT design incorporates replaceable polyurethane bushings for serviceability and long-term use.

• Nickel-Plated Steel Brackets – Corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brackets and stainless steel positioning pins provide durable mounting support.

• Direct C6 Corvette Fitment – Designed for factory mounting locations across the C6 Corvette lineup, including Stingray-era base models, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1 applications.

Why Upgrade?

The C6 Corvette's factory rubber engine mounts are designed to isolate engine vibration and provide a comfortable driving experience. However, under heavy acceleration and aggressive driving, these mounts can allow the engine to move excessively within the chassis.

This becomes particularly noticeable on higher-horsepower Corvettes equipped with aftermarket camshafts, ported cylinder heads, long-tube headers, superchargers, or other performance upgrades.

Excessive engine movement can contribute to drivetrain deflection, inconsistent launches, and unwanted movement during rapid throttle transitions.

The aFe CONTROL PFADT Series Engine Mounts address these limitations by replacing the factory rubber mounts with firmer polyurethane bushings.

Polyurethane provides greater resistance to deflection, helping keep the engine more securely positioned during acceleration and cornering. This creates a more connected relationship between the engine, drivetrain, and chassis.

For owners who regularly participate in drag racing, autocross, or road-course driving, reducing drivetrain movement can help improve consistency and control under demanding conditions.

These mounts are also an excellent supporting modification for cammed and higher-output LS engines, where additional torque and engine vibration place greater demands on factory mounting components.

Unlike solid engine mounts, polyurethane offers a balance between drivetrain control and vibration isolation. However, owners should expect some additional engine vibration and noise compared with the factory rubber mounts, particularly at idle.

For a more complete drivetrain upgrade, the PFADT engine mounts can be paired with the separately available aFe CONTROL PFADT Series Transmission Mounts to further reduce drivetrain movement.

Whether you're upgrading a street-driven LS3 Grand Sport, a naturally aspirated LS7 Z06, or a supercharged ZR1, these engine mounts provide a durable solution for improving drivetrain stability.
