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.
thanks Lee |

I've seen some severe cracking and ripping of the floor pan and trans mount with poly mounts.
Won't solids make that worse? |

I've seen that with the stock rubber trans mount too - I just weld them up as the cage is going in. They tend not to re-crack unless the car takes a big hit. I think solid motor mounts are likely to reduce the stress on the trans mount - it only has to deal with trans mass loading the mount vertically, vs the twisting and shaking around that the rubber motor mounts allow. |
