    Energy Suspension Mounts.



    Performance Motor Mounts- General Motors Co. Style
    Performance HYPER-FLEX™ polyurethane motor mounts give both performance gains and longevity benefits. These babies will handle any and all torque. This "Early GM" style mount has a built-in torque-ready safety interlock. Fits GM V-8s (small and big blocks) and some GM V6s.

    polyurethane mounts
     
  4. I agree with Larry T. Energy Suspension engine and trans mounts will take all you can give them.

    I sometimes run one solid on the drivers side in my Chevy IIs. It's a little less vibration and also makes it a bit easier to get the bolts in. Helps if you've got like minded buddy to pitch in on a pair.
     
  6. Coming from a racing background, if I was running High Horsepower, I'd go with a motor plate in the front and a midplate. Be safe.
    I used to bust transmission cases, learned the hard way, put plates in the car and cured the problems.

    Use a standard mount with a 1/2" bolt through the center. Tack weld the nut. Only tighten it enough to slightly compress the rubber. It will give you vibration isolation and keep you from pulling the mount apart.

    BTW, 500 HP isn't that high... ;)

    rubber mounts, and a chain on the driver side that limits upward movement to less than 1/8". but I have more than 500 hp, and it ain't no little small block

    I didn't think it was possible to twist the Lakewood mounts... I should have taken some pictures of them..
