Well the 440 in my 1969 Road Runner broke a motor mount the other day! How long it has been broke is actually a good question!? How I found out was that when I was cruising down the road, I got on it really good "W.O.T.",then me and my son heard something crunching, turning out it was the top of the radiator shroud getting chewed up by the fan when the whole engine flexed a little to much. The driver side rubber part of the mount split in half! So....I don't really want to go back to the cheap rubber mounts made over seas, do you guys use something different/better? I don't want to have to drive it like grandma going to church on Sunday from now on.

I believe you can find the mounts with a metal piece that keeps them from separating too far. You could also chain that monster down.
I agree , add a torque strap , rubber is not made like it used to be , cheap overseas mounts do not last long , what do you expect for 6bucks ???

When the mounts on my hemi challenger broke, I got the polyloc mounts from schumacher & they worked great. Here's a cool idea firefighter Ron did used on his Charger & looks like a great idea & is way cheaper than the polyloc's too. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?topic=13216.0
Talk about a great idea for cheap, awesome! Thanks for the link
