For a 4 speed AAR I would like them to appear as OE as possible but I do drive it hard at times and I have separated my driver's side mount causing the trans mount bushing to shift and break the pivot ball that screws into the bell housing.
Thanks in advance, Kevin

Are truck mounts different? I had a big block D200 that was upgraded to a diesel mount which had built in locking tabs.
One note of caution which happened to my D200. It was only a low 14 sec truck but at 4900lbs and some trailering duty, it was hard on mounts too. As soon as I resolved the problem on the driver's side, I torn the passenger side downwards.

$100+ for two screws added? I'll pass and do it myself. Came up with the same "cure" back in 88 when the driver's side mount failed in my 64 300, no one had them so I had to fix it myself. One long, horizontal bolt later and it was done.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Thanks for the input guys, I use to do a similar upgrade to my Z/28 to keep from running solids, drilled a hole all the way through, tapped the metal and jam nut on the backside. It always worked great, allowed it to move and cushion but not move far enough to pull itself apart. I may have to look into that cause like mentioned I would really rather not spend $200 on a set of mounts.

Might not be what you're looking for, but I use a Moroso solid steel mount on the driver side, and a stock rubber mount on the passenger side. It transmits a little more vibration than the stock mounts, but its not as bad as you might think. Most wouldn't even notice it. The passenger side absorbs most of it at idle and I don't mind feeling the motor a little. Helps me be more in tune with what its doing. At least I know with confidence that the engine is staying exactly where its supposed to.
