I finally got my top engine mount in. It really looks nice, since I didn't want any flashy poly colors, but wanted the firmness. I found black locally.
I can also tell its holding the engine firm, I get a bit more torque, thus wheelspin at the top of 1st and 2nd.
You can see I had to modify it a bit on top of usuall triming of the block mount material.
I drilled new holes, and removed the tabs on the other side of the Y part to clear the valve cover. I had to drill the new holes, so I could use the upper strut bar as my chassi connection.
Like I said, it looks nice an plain, black and silver. I was surprised how easy it was to drill thru the strut bar. I used the stock 9000 parts, 2 poly bushes, and 3/8 bolts, The kind that only have threads on half of the thing.
