Urethane mounts will stiffen things up without being too rigid

If you have some small vibrations now urithane mounts will make them worse. Also you wont be able to realy have alot of loose items close togeather, because they will vibrate alot.

Do 3-1116 'Energy Suspension' is the good parts #

Thanks but, ...

Do 3-1116 'Energy Suspension' is the good parts #

At my performance part store, they tell my that is for 93-02 and that the part I need (I don't ask him the number he got) cost 80$ each instead off 28$ each so !!

In my internet search, I found that 3-1116 is the left & right side motor mount insert.

Is that correct and do anybody use them!!!

Check the following link and you'll see that 3-1116 is the correct p/n for both 305's and 350's:

Since these are inserts only, take note of this link:

http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/mt_tr1.html

FYI, I used them in my 305 and now my 350.

ridgid mounts are intended for race only. Yes, they can/will cause A LOT of vibration.
- go with the urethane. As has been stated, solid, but not too solid.
