custom motor mounts: moroso solid w/ 1/4" rubber on each side

[racerdude5]

I really can't afford to spend $160 on motor mounts. So I was thinking maybe I could buy moroso solid motor mounts and on each side I could put some high durometer rubber. Thoughts?

I searched a lot on motor mounts. What I ended up with is a solid mount on the drivers side and factory mount on the passenger side. I had to make some shims on the passenger side do to the solid mount being thicker. Works great.

Why are you spending 160 on mounts? What is the application? You know, "year, make, model" and what are you doing that you go through "so many?"

Why all the rubber? I used Ed Hamburgers "for 340's only" solid steel motor mounts back in the 70's. Never felt any vibration or any other ill effects and I felt good knowing the motor was not going to break through that flimsy rubber at any moment. My motor was balanced, maybe that helped smooth things out?
