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.

is this a common issue? my bro has soild mounts with a big cam and he don't throw knock sensor codes. can you retune the pcm for the knock sensors?

The knock sensors are probly shut off in your bro's car.That motor was put through hell and back.
