Urethane engine/tranmission mounts?
I am considering solid mounting the engine, but one thing puts me off and thats will a stroked windsor like chassis stresses going into it, and its harmonics going to metal - could be a problem. I dont have a problem with driveability as I have had solid mounted road cars before, but didn't have them long enough to see what if any bad effects might be.
Urethane mounts for Ford engines, this sounds good, but I reckon that will stiffen only slightly, as urethan ain't that hard!
Would like to know where good mounts can be obtained?
The other idea which would probably do more good 'would be to fit a urethane bushed rod or arm from the block , or better still higher up from the cylinder head out to the chassis, to reduce engine rock, as I am fitting pipes under the body and oval pipes through parts of the chassis (2.5" clearance but wide!) this idea does becomes a problem as the chassis is low and the rod would be on a 45 degree angle and not at right angles for maximum effect - compromise?
Any ideas and as usual I have my brain in gymnastic mode!
