2080 was a turn key, all options car from ERA, Bob still suggests the stock small block Ford engine/transmission mounts, and quite frankly, after 20,000 miles, they really have held up well. I'm just trying to be pro-active, and if there is a bolt in upgrade, why not do them now. Otherwise, I'll leave the originals alone. The heat shielding under the carpet is the biggest upgrade right now, as the carpet is glued directly down to the aluminum. There is heat absorption material on the footboxes in the engine compartment, and in the transmission tunnel, but I'm uncertain why Grumpy choose to do that and not add additional heat shielding in the passenger compartment at the time of build. Not a big deal, I'll get it sorted and done the way I want to as the current owner, just personal taste I guess. The rest, I'm just curious to see and read what others may have done after their builds.
