Front Engine Mount Bracket for Caterpillar C12 or C13 Engines in Peterbilt, Kenworth, and Western Star Trucks.
Front engine mounts are chassis-specific — they set both the engine height and the critical distance to the cooling package. Even if your Caterpillar C12 or C13 engine already has a front mount attached, it may not be compatible if the engine came from a different truck brand or configuration. This direct-fit bracket is engineered specifically for Peterbilt, Kenworth, and Western Star chassis with the older saddle-style front mount to ensure proper alignment, stability, and correct positioning during engine swaps or conversions.
Kit Includes:
- (1) Front Engine Mount Bracket (Engine Side Only)
- (8) M12 Bolts – Grade 10.9
- (8) M12 Flat Washers – Grade 10.9
Compatibility:
- Caterpillar C12 or C13 engines
- Peterbilt trucks (e.g., 579, 567, 389, 388, 367, 379)
- Kenworth trucks (e.g., W900, T880, T800, T680, T660)
- Western Star 4900 Series trucks with older saddle-style front mount
Important Notes:
- If your Caterpillar engine originally came from a compatible Peterbilt, Kenworth, or Western Star with the older saddle-style mount, the existing front mount may be reusable. If it came from any other brand or configuration, this bracket is typically required for proper fitment.
- Contact Kustom Truck with your specific truck model and engine details for fitment confirmation.
