thanks for the support guys.
doctornick, i think anything rubber would chew up over time as the stock mount did.
skullv, my work email is
[email protected] for the cradle crushers or the nivomat relocators
heavymetals etc. yes the pfadt ones are awesome and very expensive and way too short, same w/ gto mounts.
actually measuring my factory mount out of the car was 3-5/8" tall, so that is the height i made this one to. the pfadt ones would need longer studs pressed into them to accomodate the what 1/2" spacer per side needed and keep 1.25" of stud hanging through. i also think because of how small the pfadt ones are that there wont be much give in them at all.
normv i bought a can of urethane to give a go at making my own such as the look of the link you posted just in case. ($40)
ctsv154 you are right, something like this is a heck of a head start

here's my revision A model; still looking for a nice beefy catalog bushing to perscribe to match the cut pattern files i will turn loose:
i am also considering tossing the giant aluminum upper and lower mounts to get more room in there, it looks soo unnecessary. also considering using an f body style motor mount with an adapter bracket
