I put my mount in the other day and took your advice SilverBullet and put one of the urethane cushions under the frame. WOW what a difference in the pants. I swear the car pulls a lot harder now and I cant feel the difference in vibration while cruising down the highway. I loved this mod as it cost me nothing, got all the parts from scrounging around and the machinest at work turned the aluminum for me. You can only see a little wiggle when you rev the motor now

Glad to hear you finally put that motor mount on. Remember to be careful not to run up to close to any of those cement curbs in parking lots as they may shear off the bolt head and leave you with no front motor mount.
I sent you a personal message but I am not sure you got it. I have been having trouble with my computer. I have not received the down pipe yet, the post office is slow.
If you e-mail or personal message me your address I will get your hats and news paper in the mail.

It is a difference you can feel and it will help your 60 foot time.
I'm surprised that the other members haven't done it yet.
How did you get the bottom donut to fit in the recessed hole...or is it a small one?
Rod - I guess that means you can't make the Oregon meet. We'll miss you. :(

Buy a set (2) urethane suspension donuts....and maybe a third for under the bolt head, in which case you will need a longer bolt - I didn't do this but PDad did - the black urethane donut is drilled large enough for the bolt you will need and it is 2 3/4" OD.
You can get red color also.
Good luck.
