Motor mount preference?
 
So i finally found a home for my old vette motor. Gonna be putting the built LO5 into a 89 RS. Anyone have experience with or a preference to a certain brand of motor mount?

I would go with off the shelf poly mounts - you should be able to grab them from autozone.

haha yeah, i'll leave the solid mounts to the fogey's who cant feel the vibration anyway.

...even with poly mounts, you're still going to feel a **** load of vibes. Solid mounts are really nice but not that necessary unless you're going balls to the wall imho.

Also, the fact of the matter is you're putting in a LO5 - even if you put in rubber mounts you're going to feel a decent amount of vibrations.

...or you should just man up, get the solid mounts, and just get a nice cushion for your seat :lol:

Christ almighty, you'd think that if you put solid mounts in the car it would fall apart with the posts on these message boards.

I ACTUALLY HAVE SOLID MOUNTS ON MY CAR, ITS FINE, just Do NOT use a solid transmission mount, becuase you can break the trans case with them.

No vibrations like these guys speak of.

Will
