You can find them regularly on eBay. It has an internal steel frame
encased in polyurethane and is guaranteed to never fail. If it does, they
will do a complete refund. I have actually talked with them and they said
I could also get a set of the solid aluminum mounts and $20 back if my
Polyurethane ones ever fail.
The way I figure it, I spent $80 on the mounts and 4.99 for shipping. If
they fail, I send them back for about $5 and I get a set of solid ones and
technically $15 bucks back because of the $4.99 shipping fee, giving me
about a grand total of $75 or so. That's IF they fail and they might. But
given that there isn't much known about these mounts in our particular
car, I figured I would try them out. They last in other vehicles that have
lighter engines, so I figured I would see if they would hold up to our
heavy iron engine.
I am totally aware that swapping mounts is kind of a pain, but it's
really not as hard as you make it seem. I have done it twice while
swapping out OEM ones. I hook the engine up to the lift and have it take
a lot of the weight off, unbolt the brackets from the block, unbolt the
mount from the crossmember, swap the mounts, bolt the mount to the
frame and bolt the bracket to the block. If I would have to go without
mounts because I had to send these back for the solids, I would just
install the brackets and keep blocks on the frame to keep the engine
lifted until I had the new ones to swap (obviously down time for the car).
Takes me about an hour per side because I don't rush and I am pretty
ham fisted and have Popeye forearms.
