solid motor mounts
solid motor mounts Edit:
I am going to replace my poly motor mounts with solid motor mounts. I am looking at UMI and motovative. Has anyone had a problem with stress cracks or any other failure of the motovative mounts? If so, how much power were you making? If anyone has switched from motovative to UMI, was there a noticeable difference?
Update: Put in the UMIs and couldnt be happier with them.

I used the UNI solid mounts on an old El Camino I had for a little while. 350 solid roller engine. The mounts stayed well, didn't crack, and fitment wasn't a real issue, but the whole car shook (to be expected with solid mounts). I did have issues with the fenders getting a bit out of whack, probably because of the vibrations.
I haven't used solid mounts since, poly mounts seem to work well for medium builds.

Yeah, I know this question has been asked before. I will edit the original post to clarify.
I am expecting it to shake a bit, Im not concerned with that. I have polys now and I have had a strange issue with them. They melted, like this but worse.https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...tor-mount.html

Interesting post on the melted poly mounts... I've never had a problem with them, even running headers.

The solid mounts are going to work the same and there won't be any performance difference between the two. The main difference is weight, our mounts will weigh less and the solid aluminum constructions is the reason for the increased price.
I hope that helps,

I run umi solids. I hated the install (motor in car), but loved the results from them. Going from stock to solids I hardly even noticed them. I know you don't care about vibes I just don't get people that say they had so many vibes after solids so went to polys. I honestly think them peoPle have no experience running solid mounts. Just my 2 cents

I didnt see anything like that when I searched, but I will look again. Thanks.
