solid motor mounts?
anybody have any feedback on using solid motor mounts?
vibration vs road noise vs chassis feels stiffer vs better shifting? thx John |

lol,
I am hoping an LT5 might run slightly smoother than a 1973 340... Did you have a solid trans mount too? John |

Re: solid motor mounts?
The stock mounts are a pretty decent design for the street. They do a good job of isolating engine generated noise and vibration from traveling to the chassis and passenger compartment and have a safety strap to keep the engine in place in case the rubber isolation material fails. Good idea to replace with new mounts if you are uncertain about the age or condition of your existing mounts.
Even with the 427 I've never had a problem shifting using the stock mounts. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: solid motor mounts?
I went with the Prothane Billet Aluminum mounts on mine... no vibration, no difference in feel from stock mounts. I am happy.
