While it may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of suspension, the engine is a key part of your vehicle’s chassis. Making sure that it is firmly mounted is critical for both straight line speed and overall handling. A solid engine mount can ensure rigidity, safety and greater performance. For one of our very own project Mustangs on Motorz, we used engine mounts from Energy Suspension.

We’ve got an all new animated intro coming at you for our 6th season of Motorz. Here’s a hint of what it looks like :)
Many of you know Chris Duke as the host of Motorz, but he’s also an official Craftsman Tool Spokesperson for Sears! Now making his fifth consecutive appearance in the Sears tool catalog (dating back to October 2010), Chris is featured in six areas of the catalog showcasing the best in Craftsman tool storage, garage organization, mechanic’s tools, auto shop, and the air shop!
If you didn’t receive a print version by mail, have no fear because the full catalog is available online in clickable, digital, zoomable form!
Remember to enter our monthly giveaway to win free Craftsman tools from Sears and Motorz, and stay tuned to our Facebook page and Twitter for more exciting announcements!

One of the most frustrating parts of any big project is coming across components that can’t be disconnected with the tools you have. Often these components were fastened using specialty methods from the factory. Unfortunately many of these specialty tools are not available on the market.

Whether it’s to perform maintenance on a lift or to show your ride off on a display stand, getting your vehicle off the ground can be a considerable challenge. While there are ramps available on the market, few of them take into account low profile, ground kissing sports cars. By using a ramp that’s too steep, damage to bumpers and wheels can easily occur. Avoid all the risk by using the innovative solution from Race Ramps.

On May 9, 2008, we published the very first episode of Motorz (which started out as “Truckblog TV”) and now, five years and a total of 74 episodes later, we are still going strong. Our distribution has never been wider, our fan base has never been more loyal, our sponsors have never been more abundant and supportive, and our production quality has never been higher!
As we turn the corner down the road to our 6th year and 6th season, we have some great changes in store for you. We are beginning to film 12 new exciting episodes for S06 and you will see several changes to the show. I can’t give out any details yet, but we are all very excited about the changes and I know you will love them too!
I’d like to personally thank everyone for 5 wonderful years of Automotive Improvement® — the Motorz crew, fans, sponsors, my family and friends. None of this is possible without you, and I simply cannot thank you enough.
Stay up-to-date with Motorz by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
Usually when it comes to engine modifications, the first items that come to mind are large additions. Ranging from turbos and intercoolers to cylinders and throttle bodies, these components are some of the most complex modifications to add. However, for a fraction of the price and size, you can add nearly as much power with new fuel injectors. Looking for the best? Head to Accel.

Back in April we kicked off a new contest with one of our great sponsors, AMP Research. We were looking for stories about great Americans in your lives that drives a pickup and goes the extra mile to help family, friends, community and/or country!
We received a bunch of amazing entries, and it was tough to select a winner before selecting Bobbi Jo Winuk. If you did not get an entry in, or didn’t win, the contest is back for another run and ends on June 1st at Midnight Pacific!

Recently on Motorz we performed a major engine upgrade on an ’87 Ford Mustang. In order to make sure the more powerful engine could keep cool, it was critical to install more capable air intake systems. For our pony car, we used BBK’s Cold Air Induction System. Specifically, the kit we installed is the BBK 1557, capable of fitting any 5.0L Mustang from 1986-1993.
