motor mounts

I'm assuming this is not a race car. First thing that comes to mind is excessive vibration and noise, the reason mounts typically have some type of absorbent material like rubber or polyurethane in them. I wouldn't suggest going to solids.

IMHO, I would stick with some sort of compliance. Run a good set of poly mounts. SOLID mounts transmit a LOT of drivetrain NVH.

I run solid motor mounts in both of my C-5's and the vibration is not bad like others say, on occasion it might vibrate but I also run a big cam.
Needed to replace the mounts because on launch we were getting a "bang or pop" from to flexing of the stock mounts that would travel to the back wheels on a hard launch. After replacing, both cars have not have the problem again. My cars are also cutting 1.34 - 1.36 60 foot times.

Best of luck!!
If you run the car in a 1/4 mile and want to post your time slip to see how you compare with others, click here for the C5 Quick List and I would be happy to update the list.
