motor mount recommendations please

[I candy]

i tried searching but only found questions about mount problems but not exactly one that recomends a certain brand over another.

i'm ordering from Summitracing.com and putting my order together. I know i want Polyurathane mounts.

is one brand or model better than another? what do you guys use and do you recomend them?

any infor is a great help.

car is used for street. and a stroked motor with agressive cam is goin in.

mount problem

The energy suspension will not lift the engine as high as the prothane or stock rubber mounts.

Could be just my car, I had to shim mounts to so steering rack did not hit passenger side of 7qt pan.

Energy suspension is probably what's most used.
Really can't go wrong with them.

In case it wasn't found in a search (it's old) and it helps:

If you look at Prothane vs Energy Susp in a side by side compaison, the prothane looks much stronger. Plus prothane offers a 100 percent lifetime guarantee

because they may be stronger and have a better guarantee i may go with these. but has any one had any clearance inssues with a stock block and system max upper and lower intake with no spacer??
(this is for a 89 vert if it matters with stock k member)

also going to need to order bushing for the rear shocks and stuff. its so worn out that its not even there. any recomendations for them too?

New shocks will likely come with new bushings.

I've never heard of anyone having to replace energy suspension motor mounts.
Also, the extra height of the mounts drives the transmission up in the tunnel, may sound like no big deal, but it can be.

trans mission is an Artcarr automatic

think i'll stick with something closer to the stock levels then just to play it safe.

I don't think i need new shocks. i didn't really run the car. it sat for like 4 years plus. i just need bushings.

go with convertable mounts

 

[HISSIN50]

I wasn't aware there's a special poly convertible mount (the same is not true for OEM style mounts).

Here is my experience with both the Prothane and Energy Suspension mounts:

Prothane vs Energy Suspension Motor Mounts - Actual Height Difference - Corral.net : Ford Mustang Forums

I didn't like the Prothane mounts because they are higher and cause a much more radical tilt with the engine in relation to front to back. The Energy Suspension mounts put the engine much closer to level.

Hope that helps,
