Motor mount replacement recommendations...

Putting headers in the old LX vert. I replaced the stock motor mounts on the 2007 GT when I put headers in it, and am looking to do the same to the '91 LX 5.0.

Any suggestions?

I see prothanes and solid mounts. I've seen Moroso solid ones that look like a box with pegs on it, and some others that look kind of like trapezoids. Plus there's the prothanes.

Any suggestions for a weekend fun car that I want to maintain a good ride quality in. I'm leaning to wards the prothanes because I won't be making big horsepower out of this car so a tiny bit of flex would be OK. Are the stock mounts rubber or are they a solid mount?

Stock is rubber your best bet will be the prothane's solid mounts transfer too much torque to the body and make the car uncomfortable to drive

Thanks Steven. That's what I was guessing.

I was going to use solid mounts in my car when I built the motor but decided against them after driving a friends car he has the COMP XFI stroker cam and every little vibration from the motor transfered to the body one good thing about that was you got a killer back massage
