Just noticed the motor mount is broke on my 351W in my Falcon. My friends are telling me to go with solid mounts but Im afraid of vibration. On the other hand I dont want to be putting mounts in it often. Is there a compromise between a soilid and a traditional rubber mount? Something heavy duty.

I would think a torque strap would give me vibration like a soild mount would
don't want to break mounts , don't beat on it .
like I said there is many ways of doing it

I did the urathane solid mounts, There comming off ! They suck! yep the vib's drive me crazy. Im doing brand new mounts and building a torque strap.
I'd like to see an street engine that could do all that damage .
not talking about a car hanging from a crane , by a chain then drop 40 feet
I'm sure there's alot you'd like to see....
I've done all of that to street cars with mild 400hp motors...
But, you learn the causes and either pass them on or be a d**k ...
Later Richard......
I'd like to see you do it .
What else I'd like to see , you go to another forum , like the BB Fords or yellow bullet and claim what you posted .
that would be great entertainment
the best thing to see , is a fool trying to to something .
Im going to put the car back up on the lift tomorrow. I will take a picture and post it.
That will work.
I've offically had enough of your cheap crap..
You're rude, crude, and socially unacceptable..
You ramble on and talk like you're really somebody (in your own mind).
Crawl back into your New York hole you call a world.
You are the only fool I've seen on this forum..
You beat your chest and play GOD to those who just want an answer to their question..
So crawl Troll, crawl you POS.
Love

Gator,
Wasn't it you that has owned and raced 2 of the original 100 1964 Thunderbolt Fairlanes?
I also recall reading that you or your son raced a car in comp eliminator or a similar class?
It's a bit hard to see in the attached picture, I've wrinkled the roof on both sides and sheared the passenger door hinge bolts off on my notch with roughly 400-450HP using no strap, just convertible mounts. A strap would have made the damage even worse.
No BS, just first hand experience.

I don't mind telling you why, rubber isolated motor mounts absorb some of the energy/shock during launch. A strap is essentially a solid mount which would transfer the shock directly to the body with no type of dampening making the twist or damage worse.
Since you were being a smart @@S, it's my turn to be rude.
1. Capitalize the first word of every sentence.
2. There is no space between the last letter of a word and a punctuation mark.
These two simple changes will make you appear less illiterate than you are.
now I'll tell you something about T/Staps . 79 5.0 Mustang with a aluminum intake with a 2 barrel . all oem .
only one time down the strip , slowest thing I ever drove .
Ready for this ? that high power car had the same roof damage . best be sitting for this , never had a strap on it .
rude back at you , learn the Why things happen
