Okay to use stock motor mounts? Im in the process of putting my motor back in my TA and im wondering if i should upgrade the motor mounts or if i will be safe in staying with stock ones. When i say staying with stock i mean buy stock style from autopart store or upgrade to Polyurethane. How much will the stock mounts hold up too? I hope on making close to 400ish hp and 400ish torque.

Consider that they're somewhat of a "PITA" to do with the engine in the car, and since you engine isn't in yet, it would be SO EASY to do them.....
Wait until "next year", when the budget is a little better, and you'll be kicking yourself SO HARD, thinking, "I was in here last year, and it would have only taken another 20 minutes, and now I'm struggling, and spending 3 freakin' hours".....and suddenly the extra $35-40 dollars today won't look like that big a deal.
Trust me, I've changed them with the engine in the car!

Getting impulsive and stingy with a decision like this is a bad idea, IMHO.
