I always have this problem on drivers side. Recently tried a "high
performance" unit from Jim's Auto Parts which was supposed to have
special interlocking to prevent being pulled apart from torque, but
not so.

I'm trying to avoid using a strap or cable to preserve stock
appearance. Solid mounts would not be comfortable.

The engine is a stock '71 340, so we're not talking monster power.
Anybody know of something tried an true?

these guys got some special non pull apart mounts.
and some freinds of mine have had great sucsess with their torque
straps??

I been using the solid mounts for years until lately (drag only now) I
would install one on the driver and leave the passemger a stock rubber
helps vibration a bit!

A good poly lock should hold you motor even if it was a four speed.
may jims was not the right one shipped,

i knew a guy in riverside Calif who had a very rowdy ford engine in a
Sunbeam Tiger. he put in stock rubber mounts but put axle u bolts around
them to support them.

i have never tired it. my last foray with solid mounts shook half the
gauges out of the Coronet!

Well it's only half as bad if you use a rubber on the pass side and a
rubber tranny mount!!!

Thanks - I like the looks of the Poly-Loc as I envisioned such a
solution but didn't know it existed. I'll give it a try, but at $250
it looks like Mama won't get her new shoes for Christmas.
