Default Motor mount recommendation

Title says it all. Looking for a decent motor mount recommendation. I see some $5 ones on rock auto but that price seems too low. I’m not concerned with getting super amazing mounts, decent ones that won’t fail anytime soon is plenty.

thanks!

Mounts should not be expensive. Go middle of road.

Mine are prothane I think. I feel like it tightened up the front end... but I'm pretty sure thats because the engine isn't flapping around under the hood anymore.

I see a lot of people say to go poly... what’s the advantage? It’s not a race car or anything so I’m not looking for maximum performance, as a matter of fact if it makes the car vibrate more then that’s a bad thing.

OP has a standard SBC mount. Those are dirt cheap. The LT1/4/5 pedestal mounts are the ones you are thinking of.

I have Energy Suspension all around so maybe not the best but the suspension came much later. I had their motor mounts. Seems ok. Way better than the hardened ones I took out

How hard is the job? Bolts seem a little tough to get to on my back.

I'd pull the distributor but not terribly hard. I loosened both through bolts. Pulled one, jacked up the engine a smidgen to get out the mount bolts then just reversed. Now my accessory drive was off at the time but I don't recall it being in the way.
