I am going to replace my motor mounts this Winter. Are there any better than average that you would suggest? Any to stay away from? Street E body.
Thanks

I've had a set of stock mounts on my 340 Cuda for 27 years on three different engines and still in great shape.

I plan on pulling them and checking them out first. But I want an idea of what to get in case they are bad. NAPA shows a generic description on their web sight. I don't want the high dollar Year One items. Anyone bought new mounts lately that fit the 340?

Thanks for the replies. How rough does it feel with one solid mount?

Mine torques over too much in my eyes which has me wanting to pull them and check them out. Any recommendation on a solid?
Thanks!

What about the Schumacher torque straps with the original style motor mounts? Thanks

Someone said something about filling the gaps in the black material with something, I forgot what, silicone/TRS? for additional support.

It sure does & I was wishing I had asked that very question when I posted above as I have spools on the stock car & it reminded me that it would be advantageous if I filled em.

It sure does & I was wishing I had asked that very question when I posted above as I have spools on the stock car & it reminded me that it would be advantageous if I filled em. when i fill those holes, i make a cardboard pattern that fits around the bottom side [doesn't matter which side, as you will do this while mount is on it's side], then i cut a piece of wax paper to fit this pattern. tape the wax paper/cardboard [i just use a couple of pieces of double side tape] pattern to the outside of the mount, lay it on it's side, and fill the holes. let the urethane cure according to the directions. the wax paper then peels off the bottom side of the urethane, leaving a smooth surface. makes quite a difference in the mount "stiffness". if you don't have any wax paper, other stuff to use is a thin coating of wheel bearing grease, silicone grease, etc. the object is to have something the urethane will not stick to when it sets up.

340C: I am planning on checking my current mounts. If they are good, then I will be adding the Schumaker torque strap too with the stock mounts. Thanks!
