when running this set up( solid drivers, ploy/rubber pass side and trannny mount..
do you use a nylon locking nut on the solid side bolt, so you can leave it a little loose for free movement and a little grease on the bolt where it's in shear.. instead of having the bolt torqued down and binding any movement the rubber/ploy might give on the other side

Do the poly's squeak? I'd be glad to try em if they don't squeak!

Nope no squeak with the mounts there isnt enough movment to squeak. The metal plates that make up the poly mount are interlocked so you cant tear it in half.

I just put on a solid mount for the drivers side today. Other side is a Lakewood Muscle mount. The engine seemingly doesn't move or twist at all now. I could just barely feel some vibration at low speeds, but nothing at cruising speed. Seems fine to me.

I had broken a couple stock mounts in the past, but these Lakewood Muscle mounts held up nicely. I would recommend them and/or use them again.

I had pollys all the way around in my bb 70 and the pass side tall m/t valve cover would hit the evap core cover, I went solids on motor and left the polly on the trans, works great:yes::thumbsup:

Well I installed the rubber trans mount tonight. I'll do the passenger side motor mount tomorrow. Can't wait to see if there's a difference.

By the way, what are the correct torque specs I should be using?

Good news! I installed the Lakewood mount in the passenger side this morning and took the car for a spin. It's a world of difference. Much much smoother all around. So for those of you thinking of trying the solid driver, rubber passenger & trans setup- I definitely recommend it.

By the way, getting that bottom bolt into the Lakewood mount is next to impossible. In fact, I couldn't get it torqued as much as I'd like to... Obviously it would be much easier with the engine out of the car.
