Re: Best non-solid motor mounts?
Stock from a dealer or solids are the only options. Polys melt even with the shields.
Cue the debate......

Jeff scott used to make them (he probably has 5-6 sets laying around he always lists items he forgot he had)
RPM makes them

$130 for what the mounts? Auto parts store $20 each, just picked 2 up as a backup.
If your talking frame pads for solid mounts then they have to be custom and you need to get them from a vendor or make them.

Re: Best non-solid motor mounts?
I have run a solid on the driver side(JSM frame pad) and a stock mount on the passenger side for 7 years now with good results. The solid on the drivers side does away with the need for a torque strap and the rubber stock mount does give some dampening to engine vibrations.:2cents:

Yup, a local guy did aftermarket replacement mounts, he ended re-doing the mounts within a month.

Yep, maybe we are twins?
Actually now that I am not making parts for syty's I have had time to organize the garage, new cabinets, benches, etc. Slow process. Seems I turn around and find a box of something laying there.
I actually have probably 15 more parts to make 80e brace extensions.
Back to the mount question, if you install the new frame pads, good news is you can now use a standard SBC mount (solid or rubber). A lot more options open up.

There are already several threads on this same topic. Here is what I'm using ($85 a pair): http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_S10-43-2wdRepacementMounts.html
So far so good. No need for an engine tie down.

Re: Best non-solid motor mounts?
Thank you sir... This seems to be the way to go !
Does anyone else have input on this before I invest $ and more important time into engine mounts... I like everyone else don't want to do this more than once.
Peace and Thanx

Re: Best non-solid motor mounts?
I'd highly recommend a set of Renz's motor mount shields with any rubber or Poly mount.
The most common cause of failure of the mounts is heat from the log manifolds... a good set of shields will minimize the heat the mounts see.
I don't care for the harshness of the polys, and will probably swap in some of the 2.8 mounts when I pull the front axle for cleaning/paint.
