If you go poly, get the Prothane over the ES. I recently researched this topic and people complain of major vibrations with the Energy Suspension mount over the Prothane. I got mine from Thunder Racing, just as FireHawk #7 usggested.

I would recommend going to your local GM dealership and buying a LS1 tranny mount. I had the ES mount and the vibrations were awful! Since I put in the LS1 mount, the vibration is gone and the LS1 mount does have an interlocking design in case you break another one. I can't comment on the prothane brand since I have had no experience with it. I read somewhere that ES had discontinued production because there design was out of spec from the original GM specs .
