Solid motor mounts
I understand that the current motor mounts in our cars have a rubber compound on them or something, and with a cam, the motor shakes a lil' bit. What would the result be by replacing them with solid ones? Would the car really shake, rattle, and roll? Is there a company or vendor that sells them? Not saying it would be a good idea or anything, just venturing out a bit. Having a car LITERALLY shaking from side to side would be kinda cool though.

I have a friend with solid mounts, theyre not as harsh as you would think, but then again thats just my opinion, id say go with the poly first and see how you like thoes.

Yeah, poly mounts are the way to go. Solid mounts would probably be a bit to much for a street car. Thunder Racing sells the Prothane brand, nice product. I just installed mine a few weeks ago since I already had the heads off, real easy to do. It's looks like a bitch to do with the heads and headers still on though. The shifter is much more stable now and the car does have a nice firm rock to it when the cam hits on idle. It's a nice mod to do.
