Solid motor mounts and trans mount?

sedanman · 08-07-2001, 06:51 PM

I am getting close to droping the motor in the car and I want to put some new motor mount in the car. I was thinking about going with solid motor mounts. I wonder if the car is going to shake to bad. I rode in a car with them but it had a stock cam. My car has a stage 1 trick flow cam (.498" int .510" exhaust 221^ 225^ duration respectively). The car is no longer a daily driver but will still see a lot of street driving so I don't want to rough. What do you think.

I'm running Edelbrock heads, F cam, etc with moroso solid mounts. I have an urethane tranny mount too. It doesn't shake too much, the only rattles I have are from the t tops and loose panels, etc. But to be honest, if you can afford to, buy the Energy Suspension urethane engine and tranny mount kit.

i have south side motormounts & an aluminum trans mount. my rearview mirror keeps shaking loose. but it is worth it in terms of 60'& reaction times & not wasting power...
it's also real cool when it is idling & you can see the fenders shaking!!!!

the energy suspension eurathanes are probably the best way to go , not cheap though. they have little to no give and won't shake the hell out of everything. sorry mitymerc but i havent met to many people that actually like their street cars doing that. it is cool to look at though, kinda intimidating.
