Poly Motor Mounts Search is Down

I think I am going to put in some poly mounts to stop my headers from hitting. which ones do I need and where should I get them? How big of a PITA is it to install them too. should have done it during the H/C swap. thanks for the help.

I did mine with a Longtube install. Was worth it but definatly a PITA, if I must say!!! You may wait and do them w/ head and cam swap. I used the prothane mounts. You can get them from many of the vendors on here!

I think the prothane ones are the ones I want. like #7-512 or something from speed. $60 are these best to go with? Thanks for the info cabech already did the H/C swap though

They are a huge PITA. I did mine at the time when I was replacing the clutch and installing headers. It is worth it after you're done, but don't expect it to be easy.

More like a "one in the chamber" PITA but like said, worth it.

Is it really such a PITA doing the mount swap, while the headers are off the car?

I did the motor mounts at the same time I did my headers. It does make it easier, but it still sucks. I also did it alone, on my back, so if you can get some one to help, that would be better too

...And I got the prothane's too
