My Hooker Comp headers on my 71 Charger BB hit the power steering gear and driver's side torsion bar when the motor revs up and down. Summit sells solid mounts. Has anybody tried to solve this problem with them?

I'd think both solid mts would be too much vibration. Are your current mts sagged a bit & if not & it's just poor header fitment/stackup of tolerances can you space your mts/eng up slightly?

Having both solid mounts is pretty harsh on a street car, been there done that.

There are a few options.

You could install a solid mount on the drivers(torque) side and leave the rubber on the passenger side.
or
I would check your current mounts to see if they aren't broken or badly worn and replace if needed, then add one of these.

Or if you want to do it on the cheap just get a strong small section of chain.

I ran a solid mount on the drivers side of my 71 RR for years. I ran the normal rubber pass side mount with the poly trans mount. I never had any problems.

The mounts are new on both sides. One tube is about 1/8" away from the steering gear and another is about 1/4" away from the torsion bar. Spacing the mount up brings the tube closer to the torsion bar. I think I'll try the solid mount on the driver's side and see if that works.
Thanks!

I'm running a solid on the driver side of my 360 Barracuda with no trouble. I have read that solid mounts are trouble with high power engines and tires that hook. If the tires hook hard, the solid mount can crack the ears on the block. My car won't hook up that hard so no trouble.

A mag mount or polyloc mount on the driverside do a really good job on a street car. Much like solid mounts, running them in pairs is too much vibration.
I've got a single mag mount I'm not using. PM me if you're interested. These are normally only sold in pairs.
