Default poly motor mounts question

Installing headers and exhaust in a week or two and want to change my motor mounts.

Can someone point me in the direction of some poly mounts ? i can't seem to find any.

also, should i change the trasmission mount as well? or just the motor mount?

Thanks!

Prothane makes some, I used them in my first car, getting ready to put them in my current car. Most vendors sell them. P/N is 7512

It's noticeable at first, but then you get used to it. I don't even notice it anymore. Then again, the cam/dumped duals may have something to do with that.

Just got my '94 back together. In addition to a new motor, I also went with Moroso solid mounts. DAMN do they increase vibration. Also may have something to do with high compression 396 and a huge cam.

I don't really care, car is more track than street, but it is very noticable.

Mine is a daily as well, but I'm really tolerant when it comes to vibrations/rattles/squeaks. I'll have friends pointing out noises that I've tuned out.

I run a poly motor mount on the drivers side only and the stocker on the left. I also recommend the polt tranny mount. You don't want much movement in that department. I don't see a need for the poly motor mount on the passengers side myself. This set up works for me and several others that I know that run high HP street cars.

Good luck!
