Default Who makes Corvette polyurethane engine mounts???

I can't seem to find anybody who makes them, and I would really like to get poly as opposed to the factory mounts.

What type of poly tranny mount would I use?

Also, would it be bad if I used solid engine/tranny mounts on a daily driven car? If not, is there any company that makes solid mounts for our cars??

I would not recommend hard mounts for the street.

they are just to brutal... way too brutal. you will hear and feel everything. and I mean everything.

I suspect that if such a thing is available, doug rippie, summit racing or vette brakes would have them...

The Vette's drivetrain is suspended by the two motor mounts and the two diff carrier bushings. If you want to stiffen up the drivetrain, I'd start with the rear carrier bushings. Everything I've heard says the poly motor mounts transmit the motor vibes and noise to the chassis, it's tough on a daily driver. Solid mounts are track use only, you need to have some give in the drivetrain.

Summit don't have them. I ordered a set from them, had to return after intalled and taking them off two times tried to put the engine in the car. Ended up bought OEM mount from Jeff and changed out the old mount installed after I took the summit mount out. Total waste of time :mad
