Hi Jim,
The people that are telling you this have probably never actually had solid motor mounts themselves. I can't imagine anything like that unless you have just a horribly out of balance rotating assembly or something. I've been running solid motor mounts for many years. Originally on heavily built 302's and now on my heavily built 377 stroker. My only advise is find a quality, trustworthy machinist who specializes in Ford engines to do your machine work... and, get a nice balance job. Use solid motor mounts, but use a heavy duty rubber transmission mount. This will eliminate torque twist on the engine, but allow the tranny to move some rather than twisting on the case. I use HP Motorsports 351W solid lowering mounts, which put the 351W nicely into the same location as the 302. But there are considerations with what oil pan and k-member you are using.
