Need Suggestions On Motor Mounts
Planning on doing my swap real soon here and I have a chance to change all of my mounts to billet mounts with the stiffer polyurethane.
I'm debating whether I should get the billet mounts or should just get the motor mount inserts from Prothane. I want the mounts to be very stiff, but not solid. Would I be better off getting the billet mounts or just getting inserts?

Why do you have to change your mounts to stiff *** polyurethane mounts? I think just keeping your stock mounts and buying a vibrator would be cheaper

I'd get the correct mounts. The billet mounts do look cleaner than inserts. I've heard that the inserts are pretty stiff as well. Most billet mounts come in a wide variety of polyurethane durometers. The higher the number and letter, the stiffer the mount.

Well I like the solid feel of the stiffer polyurethane. My power goal will be around 400whp from a build d-series. The stock motor mounts aren't actually in really good shape. That's why I was wondering if its worth it to switch over to billet mounts or just go with inserts. I'm just curious if the inserts will be as stiff as I want it to be.
The car isn't going to be daily driven will see more tack time then city driving.

I just took out my old mounts, and filled them in with polyurethane. $10 a tube and it was enough to fill all of my mounts. If you decide to fill them in, make sure you do little at a time or else the outside will dry, and NOT the inside.
Since you're swapping though, I guess you want to do it right and go for the billet ones.
