I run with solid motor mounts. It’s the best thing I ever did to solidify my front end. It used to move around a lot in autocross, but now it’s like a rock. I also have a four point roll bar and a speeder bar. I’ll be welding in frame gussets next.

Is there anyone who prefers the regular rubber engine mounts for reduced engine vibration for more mild builds under 350 hp?
I get it for big hp and high reving motors because they just break all the time.
I guess even the stock L48 had an advertised 350 ft-lb torque, but is that enough to regularly break mounts?
When i first bought my '72 someone put a chain on the driver's side, and it was pretty original. I noticed the drivers side was broken when i removed the engine, but that could probably be mostly attributed to age. Or would you all recommend even the more stock motors to run at least poly?

I also use solid Maroso's for my 383, with rubber transmition Mount! Blue Printed engine, NO Problems what so ever and the front is a lot more rigid as the engine block acts like a brace. I also run a spreader bar.
