1990 Rx-7 LT-1 T-56 conversion

this is my soon to be rx-7, with an LT-1 that puts down 365 wrhp. the only problem is, there is a lot of gear noise in the cabin of the car when accelerating or decelerating. the owner says its because of the full poly bushings in the rear and the bracing to support the power. my question is would that really be the problem or could it be bigger issues. it has a T-56 tranny and a fully rebuilt T-II rear with 4:11 gears, also it has a custom aluminum driveshaft as well.

Pics no workie.

Gear noise is probably just from the T-56. Put some dynamat in if you're worried about noise....

t56s are known to be noisy, but the poly bushings are probably adding to the noise

so some dynamat in the tranny and going back to the rubber bushings should help then, correct? would going back to the rubber bushings be a bad idea with the HP the car makes? thanks for the help.

Not that I support V8 swaps, but if you're gonna do it, it should be done like this.
