We run Poly mounts on both sides and the trans mount.For the 62 413 and 65 440 all came from Imperial services.Both have been beat on and street driven.I dont see much difference in vibration.With them I dont tear rubber mounts like I used to.Rocky

Personally, I run rubber engine mounts and a poly tranny mount on all my cars and have for many years. But I also run a turn buckle or torque strap on the driver's side.
Best of both worlds; less vibration and chance of breakage along with a good margin of safety.
Master, again and still

By solid, we are talking steel or aluminum I guess? I see some of you speak of poly ones, but that isn't what you mean by solid, right?

Ok, thanks. I had found on one car of mine that the poly trans mount transmitted more vibration than the poly engine mounts, and the vibration was from the engine, not the transmission. First I put the rubber engine mounts back, and not much difference. But when I put the rubber trans mount back in the vibration was cut in half.
From now on, only internally balanced 360's for me, but that's a different thread.

I run a solid steel mount on the drivers side and the stock rubber mount on the pass side. It works good for me as it does not cause alot of vibration and works good when I go racing. I drive it alot on the street and I am glad I went this way as it seems to work good for the street and racing. Ron

Just a little food for thought.
If you use a solid mount on the driverside and a rubber or poly mount on the passenger it will provide a fairly solid mount. I did it for years.
BUT, (just a thought, open to alternatives) now when the motor vibrates/moves, it is flexing the block at the mounting tabs for the solid mount. Under hard acceleration, couldn't it even pull the #3 cylinder walls slightly out of round? After all a properly done hone job includes using a boring plate to simulate the load of the cylinder head bolt stress.
Seems like most of my motor failures when I ran a solid mount, involved bearing issues at the 3-4 journals.
So I would recommend the poly mounts with the use of a travel limiter (chain, cable, turnbuckle, ect..) connected from the frame to a head or water pump bolt.

Schumaker(sp) makes a mount that has poly with steel inside sort of an L from the top to inside of the poly. I have one and it works great no Vibration
Gonna have to disagree with you here..
Went from India rubber stock ones ( Engine movement with the hood up in reverse was truly scary) to Shumacher Mtr mounts.. Definitely more vibration felt in my pic car.. Stock 440/727..
