Which engine mounts to get.
I replacing my engine mounts and was told that the poly mounts were great. Well, I found out that great means expensive. Of course, the mounts I have now are 8 years old and the rubber is trashed. I'm looking at about $100 with shipping for the poly. Is this something that you guys prefer? I would love to hear some different opinions on this. Thanks

I love my solid mounts. With a poly trans mount (probably a good time to replace that, I think they're only $15 or so) I honestly have no idea what people complain about, it hardly vibrates at all. Just feels good shaking at idle
PS you can pick up a decent set of solids (not that there's much variation in quality in a chunk of steel) for maybe $40

Moroso solid engine mounts with a poly trans mount work good for me. I do not have a vibration problem, I have a thumping kinda sound, oh wait, that is my cam. Any way if engine is balanced correctly you will have no problem with solid mounts.

I have no vibration like i stated earlier. As far as preventing twist, solid is much better. No flex at all. But also like i stated earlier your engine must be balanced right with very good machine work.
