Default Motor Mounts from Autozone?

They had 3 available but I don't know the material of them- rubber or what:
1)Anchor- $9.95- Lifetime Warranty
2)Duralast- $20.95- 3 month warr.
3)Pioneer- $12.95 - 3 mo. warranty

Would it be a mistake to buy any of these from them? I am putting together just a street motor- nothing too radical.

Default Energy Suspension has a polyurethane

mount for I beleive 24.95 each with the safety interlock. More expensive but they should last a lot longer and keep the engine more stable when you rev. it. If you don't get these be sure to get the type that have the safety interlock so if the rubber mount does break it would do less damage.

I would shy away from the less expensive version, you tend to get what you pay for, that lifetime warranty sounds good, but remember you will be the one having to swap them out.

I decided to go the hard core route with Moroso solid mounts,because my engine has right at 500 ft.lbs. of torque.

Good Luck

I bought a set from AutoZone and four months later they both separated again.
This time I went with the Energy Suspension brand.
I haven’t installed them yet as I am in the middle of a body off resto, but I tried to save a few buck and just ended throwing it away.
Changing the motor mounts was not all that easy and you don't want to have to keep doing it every couple of months.

Just my two cents but go with something that will last a while.
