Poly motor mounts - pros/cons What are your guys feelings on motor mounts?
Since the I will have the motor out and the exhaust off for my swap, why not go to poly motor mounts?
How much extra engine noise will I get? How much less movement? I already have a poly diff mount installed, so I might a well go to poly motor and tranny mounts, right?
I can get a set of motor mounts shipped for $45, is that a good deal?

i would seriously get them, motor went from a lot of shake to no shake at all
i would also only replace the drivers side one, the pass side dont matter that much and will save you $20, but since you have the motor out its not a bad idea.

You will see more vibration, especially at higher speeds. The mounts definately decrease the amount of motor shake though. If you can stand the extra noise, I would say go for it.

I've just recently converted my Tranny mount, Torque arm mount,and Motor mounts to polyurethane. I figured this would eliminate a lot of motor shake and get everything nice and stabled, but when i recently went to the track, wiht a set of slicks, all i could turn was a 14.1 at 5800 ft. My best last year on street tires was a 14.049. Help?

Traction would be my guess, or density altitude. How hot was the best vs your 14.1?
.05 seconds is not a lot and there are about 1010301234141240123401234 different factors that could account for that.
