Basically what i said up here^. Is it ok to run solid motor mounts with the stock Transmission mount? How is the ride quality? a lot of vibrations?

I used to have polyurethane mounts in my old car and it rattled pretty badly at idle but I have read the solids aren't that bad???.

Never personally ran solids, but I'm currently runnin poly motor and a stock trans and I get a good amount of vibration but its not unbearable. With solids I would think bolts would be rattling loose lol.

I ran solid motor mounts and not a single rattle or vibration and nothing came loose.

really? so the cabin didn't shake at all? which company did you go with?

oxfordgt

I'm sure the car would have shook more if I would have had different suspension but no vibrations. I got some cheapo ones off ebay, no clue who made them.

I'm sorry but there is absolutly no way you can run solid motor mounts and not notice any difference or vibration over stock.

Have you ever ran them?

When I had poly mounts I had a vibration at 180rpms but it all went away when I went to solid.

what about solids with running a teksid aluminum block? sorry op for the thread jacking

MineralGrey

180 rpms?

its fine, I would imagine it would be fine that block is pretty strong.

school boy

i was thinking the same thing but me going to a teksid block build next year i rather be safe since it will be a 3500+ short block

i think he meant 1800 rpm
