Search for threads on poly motor mounts. Fixed all my problems, and if I get time I am going to try to move the y up more.

Mufflex makes a hanger that prevents it from hitting the floor anymore. I'm pretty sure I got mine from Thunder Racing.

Driver's side poly motor mount worked great for my car. No more banging Y-pipe and the engine doesn't shake as much. The install is kinda a pain in the *** though.

As everyone else has said, use hangers, springs, or poly mounts.

Try www.thunderracing.com or you can also find them at autozone for about $20 each in the section where they have all the poly mounts.
