a buddy of mine ran this setup in his mustang, ended up cracking the bell housing.

the engine was able to torque the bell housing, but the transmission didnt budge.... CRACK!

i dont know if our cars make enough torque to do this, but i guess its a possiblity.

What motor mounts can you run with solid tranny mounts then? There was a thread a while back where a person asked if you could run solid and solid but the consensus was solmething needs to give.

nope!

you dont want a variation in the stiffness of the engine&trans mounts.
