1 poly motor mount on drivers side?

im doing my H/C swap this weekend, and want to atleast get one poly mount in while i got the heads, headers off...my question is what side torques more, or moves more when driving hard? that'll be the side i change, im alil short on $$ so that is why i only bought 1 mount, and if changing 1 does the trick as far as getting my Y to stop banging it will be the only 1 i put in...just tring to save myself some time and alil money...thanks...

Jon

P.S. i searched and didnt find anything as far as only changing 1 side, alot about changing both, but not 1 side..

You can do just the drivers side if you want, that's all some people are doing. To bad you couldn't fork out the other $20 for both sides since you have the heads off already, it would of been a cinch. Just the drivers side should work though for the banging...

What about putting one just on the passenger side? Thats the way the motor torque's, that would keep that side from going down and the driver side from comming up (and exhaust banging the underside of the car) Just a thought....

I just installed the poly mount on my drivers side. It cured the y-pipe banging. I don't see any reason to do the passenger side.
