Softer mounts for 240 swap
Softer mounts for 240 swap Do you guys think putting a very small bushing between where the cross member bolts up to the frame would be a good idea to take out some of the vibration of the motor? I'm using the universal mounts that have a very thin layer of polyurethane and was trying to figure a way to absorb a little bit more of vibration. Any other ideas you guys have had with this?
Well one reason is I spent 90 dollars on mounts. I'm not as pleased with them as I thought I wuold but I wuold like to use them. I'd like to just make the vibration a little less in other places to still be able to use the ones I just bought.

I am using Corvette motor mount donuts on custom mounts. They're hydro-elastic and look to provide good dampening (car isn't done yet, so can't tell you about isolation). Urethane mounts are pretty hard, so I wanted to avoid them.

I was going to use this mount.

But after talkign to someone who used it I really think it could of been made better and still stayed the same price. Although I think I thought of a way to adapat it still use all it came with and the stock f-body mounts that came with my block.

DO NOT add bushings to the crossmember. Your suspension stiffness and geometry is critical. You dont want to turn and have the x-member shift on you.
