Can you run a solid 500 crank HP 2000-Z28 with poly motor mounts and a rubber tranny mount??? Reason I am asking is, when I lock up converter after 3,000 rpm..., Tranny hits tranny tunnel when shifts????

I believe the rule goes: As long as the motor mounts are stiffer than the transmission mounts, you'll be ok.

Thank you all... I will upgrade to a poly mount and I thought it was the torque arm hitting more than the trans physically hitting... but trans is moving alot due to rubber mount. Also want to look into relocation kit.
