Choice of engine mounts FILLED?

["Top Fuel" Bender]

Depends on the set up for me...solid for a race car, the filled for a street car since I'd bet it would be even softer, would vibrate less and would certainly be better/outlast a plain jane rubber mount.

So for you that would be the 1st option button
anybody else need help?

I've done this to mine so I voted that you keep making your mount as is and skip filling stockers. I'd leave filling stockers to the do-it-yourself crowd as it's not expensive or hard to get a hold of the material.

Also, not sure if this thread is appropriate, but when I filled my trans mount I thought it was pointless as it's upsidedown so a fully supported boxed mount would be nice if you were to start making those from scratch like you do the front mount.

I don't ever see mention of the price difference, thats what is going to make the real determination right there. If filling the stocker is only $10 cheaper than a full poly one, there's no point.

The very first post did say price, 1/2 of the solid one.

[djtang]

Voted for both!

Off Topic: Any possibility of getting a commonblock lower alternator mount gutted and filled with poly? Mine is falling apart and despite having your upper alternator poly bushings (which are great btw!) I can't get the squeal to stop 100%! I would rather spend money on a poly replacement over OE!

[Johnny]

OE is your choice! sorry.

I made a filled 1990-95 style passenger side mount and sent it to a customer to test.
I'll let you know about feedback.

Ohhhhhhhhh, thats pretty cool,

[moparzrule]

I'll test one too

[Johnny]

Next "tester" pays the $45 they will sell for. I am still making the solid ones for people that want them.

[moparfwdsleeper]

Any word yet from the 'Tester'?

I'd like to get some feedback before I give you my opinion on what to start or not start making.

Here is the email I got:

Hey there, just got the mount installed on Monday. Looks very nice and
seems to make the car shift faster and smoother. I expected this though
due to worn out (read: completely shot) stock mounts. I think that
customers would be very happy with the performance and price of this new
mount and would see very little difference between it and solid mounts.

[moparfwdsleeper]

Who is this that did the testing?

Have they ever used the full poly?

How long did they 'test' it?

How did he 'test' it? DD or ran the piss out of it?
PS, I run the piss out of mine; DD I dont think so

Sorry for the questions, but he said shot stock mounts and then compared the filled to a full poly

I just want to make sure Im not considering it off someone's word who hasn't used the full poly. If I can get the same results I have in the past from the filled verus the full I'm all in on saving a few bucks. But I would like to know this person has some ground to stand on to make his word(s) worth taking.

[Johnny]

He did not have a solid poly one in any of his cars that I know of. I am not trying to sell to people that want the full benefit of the full poly one. These will be for street only car...for people that want a better mount than stock but not the solid high performance one.
He only had it on a week when he wrote this to me. I was mainly concerned with vibration. Many who do not buy the solid one because of vibration concerns OR cost. This mount gives both.

[moparfwdsleeper]

I understand what your saying, just wanted to know where his knowledge of the products you offer are at, I'm sure it's a nice product and one I'll likely try out.

[Johnny]

I will have a few of these made and bring them to SDAC!
