poly motor mounts your opinion? ok i have the usual Y pipe bang and im thinking of goin with poly motor mounts or the prothane(are they the same thing) but im nervous because in my old mazda turbo i did them and afterwards i could make a coin dance on the dashboard how stiff it made it. is that the case with these mounts how much more than stock do u feel it with poly/prothane mounts and is there a diffrence in prothane and poly or is that just a name for them? it is my daily and i like a smooth ride and nice exhaust i also plan on doin a 224 112 or 114 lsa cam and i dont wanna shake the car like crazy

Neither of your choices. Yes the car vibrates more with my cam, yes it will stop the Y from banging, no I do not notice the vibrating now like I did when they were first installed, and yes the work is worth it.

I noticed a little more vibration in my buddies car after he installed motor mounts. I couldn't see how it would bother anyone though. Personally, I like the vibration.....it feels like a V8!

What I've noticed with my poly mounts is that the whole car shakes more but there is less vibration's. The shifter barely moves (did move quite a bit). It's a very good mod, but I wouldn't do it with the headers on and the motor in the car. I may try if the headers were off and the motor was in the car but I don't know.
I just went with the prothane mounts... I can feel the cam EVERYWHERE in the car. Shakes the back glass and all, cam is pretty large though. I also installed them before the motor went in the car, not sure how hard in the car???

I recommend poly mounts to everyone. The only complaint I have is they raise the engine maby 1/4-3/8", but it's no big deal.
If you do feel a vibration, you will forget about it/get used to it in about 100 miles. My poly tranny mount vibrated pretty bad at first, then it either went away (doubt it), or I stopped noticing.
I had cam and heads with stock motor mounts, enging shook like crazy. I then had a 383stroker motor built with a bigger cam and went with Prothane mounts....engine sits perfectly still. As for vibration, it's like using a poly trans mount...makes you get more in tune with the feel of the car IMO.
