Not Ranked
I ran solid motor mounts on my chevelle for 9 years. At first, they didn't seem all that different. After years however, eveything on the car began to rattle. Oh well, at least I'm not tearing motor mounts anymore, allowing the engine to torque over and smash the headers against the control arm cross shaft. Tried the chain setup, but I had to add a twist to it every other week cause it would stretch. Had a turnbuckle arraingement recommended, but went for the solid steel mounts instead. Don't run solid motor mounts and a solid tranny mount, one of them must have some give to it. Solid motor mounts, than run a ruber tranny mount. The solids work great, but transmit alot of vibration to the car. Back to cobras, steel flywheeled motors torque over way more than aluminum flywheeled motors. Even when the alum equipped motor makes twice the torque. Just a good excuse to buy that aluminum flywheel you've always wanted.
