Why go with solid motor mounts?

Yup, that would be them.

I have a pair of solid motor mounts w/ solid trans mount. Someone gave them to me because they didn't want to run them. I don't want to run them either.

Those are it....BTW Solids aren't bad!!! Just don't get a solid trans mount....stay poly or rubber. I have solids on my 383 stroker in my convertible and used to commute in the summer in the car 50+ miles each way.

I noticed after getting Solids that wasn't tightening exhaust/header bolts all the time....I'm not a fan of drive train movement.

looks big cause its the mount and bracket in one.

I run a solid on the drivers side and the stock one on the pass. works good cause the natural rotation of motor puts the most stress on driver mount. so it has the benifits of solids plus dampening of rubber mounts

How much hp are we talkin about? The GT500KR makes like 540hp, the ZR1 Vette makes 630hp...i'm pretty sure neither are running solid mounts.

I've got a set and i almost installed them...but after driving my buddy's car with them, i decided to go with new vert mounts. It's not that it's BAD, but there is a LOT of vibration when your car is heavily cammed. It's bad enough now with vert mounts. His car has urethane mounts now and it's really no different than my vert mounts as far as vibration goes. If you're really concerned about breaking mounts then you need to get yourself a torque strap for the driver's side. Then you'll never break another mount again even if it's a 20 year old stock mount.
