polly mounts
The spohn mounts raised the motors mounting position, but besides that I wouldn't think it would be possible to run a solid and a poly. If you want less engine rock use the poly on both sides.

It's the tranny mount that causes more vibration in the cabin. The motor mounts will reduce vibrations in the cabin. I got the prothane from TR and there is absolutely no downside to them (other than the install, they are a b****). Great mod, wish I had done it sooner to stop my y from banging.

mine were a bitch to do and i diddnt have any exhaust manifolds/headers on it! i found it easy to use a **** load of extensions and fish them thru the steering in order to get to the bolts that go into the block easily. i diddnt have to remove my A/C compressor either, i just unbolted it from the motor, then unbolted the pedestal from the k-member and remove the whole thing thru where the header runs.
WARNING - when removing the alternator, be VERY carefull with the exciter wire that plugs into the back. its a big black connector with one *TINY* red wire that like to rip out of the connector. mine did this, because i diddnt even see it plugged in when i was trying to remove the alternator. i had to take the plug apart, and re-attatch the wire inside of it.
BTW - i've found a phone book works great for supporting the engine/trans w/ a jack it doesnt marr the aluminum and gives you an extra 2 inches or so to play with

I installed Prothanes motor mounts (Thunder Racing) when I did my header install. I had no Y pipe banging problems before I put them in, and I still don't have problems. I don't notice additional vibrations, but it definately firmed up the motor. That motor flex/twist whatever- has to be wasted power in my mind... I reccomend anyone putting headers on to install them at that time (after the exhaust is on, it's more of a PITA install).

i always refer folks to Spohn performance ... they are around 38-39 bucks and they will ship fast
poly motor mounts will not cause more vibration, in fact quite the contrary from the cars that i have done
they really tighten up the whole feel of the car when driving it

AutoZone. I brok my rear sway bar end links whil doing a rear end swap this week and found the Energy suspention ones at AutoZone. they also had Energy Suspention Poly engine & tranny mounts cheap.
i just installed a poly tranny mount today, and yes there is more vibration, i was acctually gonna reasearch it on here, but then i saw this thead, and found out its universal with poly mounts...it is alot more stiff though and it feels good...my shifter actually sits up alil higher now as well, which is cool b/c its a LSS and used to sit inside the console hole, now it sits right above it...just a cool lil bonus i guess...but i have the vibration as well, and the one i got was from autozone and its a energy sus. one...

Are spohns better or more fitting than Prothane?
