Hey guys are You talking about the "Bone" Mount? If so...that sounds like a good Idea, But what if the wheel is TOO hard? Won't it bother?Thanks :)

get some windsheild urethane from any auto parts store and fill in the holes in the stock mount bushings. That sk8 wheel method sounds awesome! I have like 10, all different size from wear.

put a skateboard wheel instead of the soft rubber on the upper mount (firewall to head of engine)....:)

hi guys, i wanna make my engine more stiff against forward/backward movement, i searched the forum looking for a pic that shows a torque rod located between the oil pan and the carb attached to the firewall, i remember that someone told that this give a pretty good stiffness, well if anybody got any other suggestion it would be great!
