I've built my own, actually just the drivers side, since I tend to stretch out the factory ones. I built a jig off of a new stock drivers side mount, and then used that as a fixture for all my holes to line up perfectly to make the new one. The passanger side I've left alone for now, but my engine does compress that rubber part pretty good when going down the track. Maybe when things are caught up I can build a pass side jig as well
Why do you want solid mounts? Are you building a drag car? If you plan to drive your car on the street, you don't want solid mounts. The noise and vibration will drive you crazy, and you'll be forever tightening stuff back up. Even the guys with urethane mounts complain about all that, and that's not fully solid.
And remember, if you do solid mounts, you MUST do a solid trans mount too, or you'll be replacing trans cases.
I can see a motor plate needing a solid mount on the trans, because of the water passages, yet in the solid motor mount debate I stand firmly behind being able to safely use a rubber trans mount. So far in the past 6 years I haven't seen any ill side effects, neither has any of my car pals.
there is a guy on the .net site selling rebuild urethane kits for the engine mounts. if you are going with the t-5 for a transmission you can run a urethane tranny mount from a 94-95 and still keep the same driveline geometry
Scratch the C-6.......... unless you want a heavy hp eating pigya thats what i have heared, im trying to decide weather to put a t-5 in or build a c6 or a c4 tho. so i still have a few decisions to make before i start worring about this

If you're really gonna race this thing, a C4 is the only way to go. You can build a C4 to handle up to 1000 hp and possibly more depending on how rich you are.
Finding someone to build you a 500 or 700 hp C4 is not to difficult anymore. They have become the hot ticket in racing these days, just as the powerglide has been.
If you are good a fabbing, building a soild set from scratch it's all that difficult. You more or less just copy the design of the originals,,,, without a chunk of rubber in the middle.
You can use some hockey pucks instead of rubber, they last longer. heh
