I'm building a CMC camaro and getting ready to reinstall new motor. I have covette motor mounts and the original camaro ones. Which one , or should I get solid motor mounts to go in the car.

For a 4th gen race car, get the solid mounts: Moroso MOR-62635 and a poly trans mount Prothane PTP-7-1604-BL. The solid mounts won't wear out like rubber or poly, and are immune to heat and oil. The only downside is it's a bit more difficult getting the trans plugged in since the motor won't tilt as much. Bend the lip on the tunnel shifter opening, and loosen the thru bolts on the mounts, and it makes it possible.

If you go with the Prothane poly inserts (my second choice), assemble them on the bench, observe which corners will interfere with the bolts into the subframe or block, and trim those corners off before installing. The corner interference prevent the bolts/socket from lining up properly, and makes for lots of cussing, tool throwing, etc.
