Well, I completely blew out the motor mount along the Power Tour. I was looking into solid replacements to rid myself of those nasty hydraulic ones. Here's what I found. W-Body Store has the solid engine mount for $49.99 and the solid trans mount for $34.99. ZZP has the solid engine mount for $49.99 and the solid trans mount for $39.99 and even a poly trans mount for $89.99.

I decided to just check prices on a standard engine mount from the local auto parts store for comparison. Low and behold, I find that Autozone sells a solid engine mount and a solid trans mount as well. Now, it's important to note that these are NOT available at the stores, but available online only at AutoZone.com - Get in the Zone! . Just type the part numbers below into the search box there and it will take you right to them.

Autozone solid engine mount - Part #A2796 - $37.99
Autozone solid transmission mount - Part #A2712 - $29.99

Now here's the best part. Both come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

So I have the engine mount ordered and will update this when I get it so that I can give you an idea of the quality and ease of installation.

Please let us know how they turn out for you. Wbody's solid tranny mount I believe is off a Bonnevile if Im not badly mistaken.

Here's the write up I just finished on the engine mount. I'll probably order the solid trans mount and do a write up on that one later.

I think you will be very happy with it. The only issue I had is the new rubber is pretty hard which made it hard to get the two upper studs lined up with the holes in the engine bracket since they were angled toward eachother a little bit. I ended up getting one lined up and letting the engine down onto the studs just slightly so that there was very little weight on it. With the rear stud slightly in the hole, I pryed against the engine bracket until the other one lined up and popped in. Then I let the engine down the rest of the way. Not really hard, just might want a prybar handy. Just so you know, for what it's worth.

After I got it done, the engine feels much more solid. I still have a slight pop when I stop, but I am sure I have narrowed that down to the upper strut mount on that side. Write up on that coming soon. lol. Either way, my mount was bad and needed replaced anyway.

Do your motors sit level with these? I had this issue with Napa mounts. I wonder if these have the same problem?

I know that suspension autozone house brand parts are made by MooG, I think the engine /tranny and transfer case mounts are made by MooG as well, found this out when I replaced all the mounts on one of my 4x4's.
