Ive always heard good things about the Energy Suspension Polyeurethane bushings, their cheap and easy to replace as well. Thats what Im going with.

Change is easy. unbolt the mount from trans cross member (1 bolt), jack tranny up about 1/2 inch. Unbolt the cross member ( 4 bolts), remove mount from trans (2 bolts). Install new mount, reassmble and make sure the trans is in the original position ( right to left ). Just line it up where the mark from the old washer is on the trans cross member.
As far as the mount goes, the Poly mounts are allot stiffer then stock and can add more noise and vibration when shifting ( if you care about that). If your car is mostly for the street you might want to look at the GM 1LE mount. It is stronger then stock, but not as stiff as the poly mount.

i had poly's on my last two fbodies & didnt experience much of any added vibration, like pampered said install is very easy & straitfoward but two sets of hands under there would be great if you have to do it yourself its not that bad. I'd go poly...you can pick them up at any autozone fwiw.

I have the Prothane one from www.spohn.net
It does make the car a little rougher but my trans shifts so much better now. Are you running any other suspension mods? On my car, I am running the spohn torque arm and the ES trans mount changed my pinion angle a little bit and was causing the torque arm to hit the body on medium to large size bumps. The prothane mount doesn't change the angle and I haven't had any problems.

Alrigh thanks guys, i got it done. it was easy like you said, i just wasnt sure so i figured id ask you before i go there and rip stuff out 
I think the hardest part was finding a comfy spot underneath the car, but its all good now. And to answer someones questions if my car had any mods: Nope its all stock now, ill get to modding as soon as i save up some cash 8) Thanks for the help guys
