RE: motor mounts
does your motor stay aligned? how is it at an idle does it move at all?

RE: motor mounts
never solid for a street car that;s just silly.......I use a small cable to one head and to my frame... I know 1968 chev impalas came from the factory with this cable

RE: motor mounts
I personally would shy away from soild mounts in a street car, the vibrations are terrible. Even with poly mountsthere is a little vibration but is not that bad. IMO solid mounts should be for a race car unless you can bear with the vibrations on the street.

RE: motor mounts
actually in some cases the solids dont vibrate at all compared to stock. with my old truck setup the old tamer motor rocked the truck. nowwith the new 408 the truck doesnt shake or vibrate. truck is also a full frame vehicle.
