Solid mounts + LT's + DD ? was wondering how many people have done the solid mounts with long tubes and daily drove it. reason i ask is becuase my left side header hits the floorboard and the engine kinda rocks alittle (ms4...wonder why it rockes so much 
) like i knokw the mounts are good and all, cuss before the cam the engine was smooth as could be not rocking and hittin stuff. now with all the boltons it likes to rattle the left side on the floorboard as i'm coming to a stop or taking off, auto tranny btw. would sticking a solid mount stop that problem? and if so, would the engine rocking be really felt now with it being connected directly to the frame, no cushioning anymore? thanks for yalls help

I have that problem. I just shut my car off now...or avoid drive thrus. I am pretty sure that when I tried to hear what they were saying and repeat my order 17 times at McDonalds they pissed in my food because of it.

i think i'll try the poly first to see how much that will reduce it. hoping that will take care of it... if not then solids are going to have to be it... wonder how i should attack them, taking off the headers?

I did the poly mounts when i had a stock cam and it was a world of difference, now I have the poly motor mounts with my cammed car and it still rocks all around, I am mulling the idea of solid mounts right now.

I DD a car with solids, and the only time I notice them is when I am driving from a stop, and it is only a mild vibration. I drove a car with NEW poly mounts in it, and it felt about the same. I think they break in and vibrate less, but I'm not sure.
I had a poly trans mount, and that vibrated the crap out of everything, but I never gave it time to break in. I replaced it a week later with a 1LE mount. When that breaks, I'll use the poly again.
