As long as you know what to expect, have at it. Dropped ones are good to lower the center of gravity as well as allow a taller intake with the stock hood. What are your plans for the engine?

same here.


Question, guys who are saying solids are so bad, do you or have you had them in a mustang? I put mine in with a slight worry I would have more vibration - I didn't notice any extra vibration, and I DD my car almost 100 miles a day when it is sunny out.

I'm not speaking through experience with a Mustang, I've only experienced the bad vibrations with an import.

I've ridden in cars that use them. Several years back, I had a friend with a 89 Foxbody with solids. I don't recall what all he did to the engine but I know it was lopey (cam) and I hated riding in it.

Hmmmmm, with this kind of feedback I might just save myself the money from poly mounts and get solids.

Which ones did you go with jasper? Where from?
