Thread: Are there better motor mounts than stock?

Tweet

Rubber, are best to absorb vibration .Then you have poly mounts ,and then there are solid mounts.

Remember the more "stiffer" the mounts the more vibration you will feel and hear.

My idea on my truck is to use rubber mounts and torque limiters.They will help keep the engine from twisting,and the rubber mounts will keep vibration down.I am planning on a big block for built for street strip,mainly strip and occasional cruize night.I know I will love my motor ,but dont want it to get real annoying on longer cruize trips.

Thanks The Poly is like hard plastic? Explain please. and how would the torque bars work?

Say I go the middle of the road, Poly, how bad could the vibration be? I had a solid mount in my harley, and the bars were mounted almost solid. After about an hour on the freeway, my fingers were numb. Cant have that.

Like this ,but not reall y removable.Even if they are not ever removed you get the benefits of the rubber mounts being the quitest (engine humming onthe highway).http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Another thing from what I have herd (and common sense),you don't want a mount to fail when punching the gas ,bad!
