Look at these. Looks like a big job that I am to old to want to do myself.

Pfadt Mounts
I posted a thread back in August that was a feedback on Pfadt motor and tranny mount install. A search should pull it up. There are apparently several advantages to the Pfadt mounts ranging from (slightly) additional clearance for exhaust mounting to increased throttle response on demand, to lessened drivetrain shake. Since the mounts are more "solid" than OEM, some vibration is transferred to the chassis, but if you like the hint of power at your disposal, it's not a bad thing at all. I love 'em.

Lord Corporation
Lord Corportion is a huge mfg of vibration and isolation mounts. Their line has breadth and depth; further they are most likely the largest private labeler of all these type mfgs.
Secondly is Sorbathane Corp.: This one is more intereesting. They have the engineeredmaterial in its name "sorbathane" to remove all but a slitther of shock and vibration as an engine mount but may be too soft. The problem being the mount would grow so large it would not be practical but I ceratinl;y woud not write them off - they may be able to design it.

The hydrodynamic mounts are susceptible to heat. If you have a modified engine with headers or other items that radiate more heat than the stock configuration mounts need to be shielded better. The biggest difference in the LS3-LS7 to the LS9 mount system is the mount heat shield size. The LS9 mount heat shield covers more of the mount.
Point being, if you mod your engine, keep in mind the mounts. Expect them to fail if you do not protect them from heat.

), but when I get back to the US I'll probably order two new stock mounts.
