i had a set of soild mounts in my 78 trans am and loved 'em, so i figured these with a poly trans mount will give the car a nice solid feel to it, plus i couldn't pass up the price i got them for.

Let me know how it goes, im in need for some motor mounts soon as well (prob need a tranny one too. What would you put on a street car? Ive felt poly motor and tranny and it felt really stiff. Im assuming solid must be really rough?

You'll definitely get the solid feel and ALL the vibration from the driveline.

It will also make your knock sensors go crazy.
