Street, rubber insulated mounts. Drag strip, solid or engine plate. You won't like solid mounts on the street for long. :)

Urethane seems to work well on the street also. They're a little more rigid than rubber mounts, but I like them for higher performance.
Solid mounts are for racing only . . . unless you really dig engine vibration in your car.

Ok, so we have Don, Jack & Tech voting for rubber {or urethane} mounts &
Dave & Pat going for the solid ones.... hummm, guess it's a personal preference thing? Well, even though I sort a like the idea of 'shaking around a little' with vibration I should probably go with the rubber mounts due to the fact that my car ALREADY vibrates enough with the rubber mounts that it has!!! BUT then again, shaking around like a AA/FA at a stop light does sort of appeal to me!!! THANKS to all for your imput/opinions!!! ;) Bill
yep putting urethane over soild mounts on your A not much diff my gto is not bad if. i gave you a ride you could not point it out the front wheels do jump a bit on idle but looks cool and scares the old men and kids:DQuote:

In fact, now that I think about it, the '84 Camaro that I had with the motor that was in my '32 had solid mounts! I just remembered that when I was going through the garage cabinets the other day I saw them. Yeah they used big block chev solid mounts. It didn't shake much. But then it was only 460 HP/ 499 Tq.... I will try the solid mounts & see how they work. Thanks for 'jarring my memory' Pat! ;) Bill
well ok:D any time you need a jarringQuote:
