Hey Wes, I am thinking about new mounts as well and was also wondering if its worth it. There is a guy selling new polyurathane engine mounts on the forum. I saw the post a week or so ago. I think I might go with those in the future. How is that motor coming along, what cubes did you go with?

If you have any rattles, shakes, creeks or groans these mounts will find them, and there's nothing you can do about it. I had solid mounts in a turbo honda. It will make you not want to drive it everyday.

I got them!

Diff brace installed:
I also installed a solid coupler in the rear of my torque tube:
Yes, I do have some vibration at idle, but, I love the feel!

I also have the Pfadt coil overs, and the Pfadt street sway bars on my car. I installed a 3/8" tunnel plate as well. This car will corner flat no matter what you do with it!

I have pulled 2 diff sets of coilovers off the car and sold to someone that use them for the track. The Pfadt feels the best on the street with the vette to me. the thick tunnel plate makes a big diff.

Are the vibrations only heard at idle? I know every car will have different sounds/where they come from but how do you determine exactly if its caused from the mounts?
Had a snapped timing chain ruin my ls6 so when a new ls3 crate was dropped in I had some pfadt motor mounts installed to go with my pfadt rear differential brace that was already installed. I also have their coilovers but just want to detect if the noise that is heard now isn't from the chain snapping while in gear and possibly damage something else on the drivetrain like the torque tube bushings. Or if the sound heard now is just from the solid mounts.

I won't rule out psychological benefits associated with aftermarket parts though, and my car feels a lot faster after installing the urethane muffler hangers.
