Alex,how can they not give a different ride than rubber?Alex wrote:My car has solids both sides and it is hard to tell the difference between them and rubber mounts.
May aswell be sitting on a breaker/jackhammer.

I think with mine, you do get a sense of being 'closer' to the engine if you know what I mean, but no real engine vibration to speak of. I do however get a wee bit of resonance particularly through the dash/bulkhead area at 70ish. So I ran it to 70/80/90 through the gears with the prop out. No vibration whatsoever. Twisted prop round, and almost gone now at 70.
Any chance that the transmission geometry may have changed slightly?

How? I guess the engine is balanced well, it is lumoy at idle but the car does not shake, there is a hint of res at certain rpm's but I have had that with rubbers as well...
I drive enough different cars to get a feel and generally solids are pretty close to rubber apart from specific res, makes the lock rods rattle as a rule LOL

OK,here's the Update.
Fitted the stock rubber mounts.
Fitted the TTI headers(thanks Jim)
Cut section out of kickdown belcrank & rewelded.
Rerouted 727 cooler lines.
Cut back & rewelded exhaust downpipes to suit new headers.
Starter motor was a PITA.
All in all,the car now drives as it did with the other 440,also still got some of me teeth left
Just got the torque strap from schmaker,so will take it easy till I fit it.
