fwiw I am going to put a motorplate on my car in the very near future, not because I am having a problem, more for making doing the k member and a arms with the motor in the car over the winter alot easier, plus it will make future changes/plans alot easier as well.

I have spohn solid mounts and drive it on the street as a weekend/track car and there is almost no differance in the vibration. I already have a big cam and loud exhuast. So between that you can't even tell! People who ride in it do not notice it.
They will be up for sale in a few weeks as I am de modding the car to build another drag car. And going to put my SS back on the street. PM me if your interested.

But you still gotta pay the welder $30, $40 bucks an hour, and you gotta pay for overhead, and you gotta take a paycheck home as well to feed the kids and pay for the mortgage.
...labor in America isn't cheap. There's a reason for outsourcing to other countries, it's called capitalism
I buy american, but I pay out the *** when I do
..and yes I have their mounts, you can feel it during idling but driving normaly I can't tell a difference. Stock cam and heads though...FWIW

I know they aren't hard to build, I'm a design engineer by trade. 90% of the stuff you can buy off the shelf, or have made cheaply.

You could make the mounts for 20-30 bucks.
You could mini tub a car for 150 bucks.
I just think some things are way over priced these days.
