motor mounts
 

here is the original motor mounting equipment.
i had always planned to just replace these components with high-quality aftermarket parts, but they actually seem to be in pretty good shape.
these mounts only traveled about 120,000 miles before disassembly and as far as i know the motor was never really shaken up too much.
i bought a set of engine mounts from napa because they were in stock and only $8 each, but they looked like poor quality korean-made tin foil toys, so i returned them.
butler performance offers a pair of polyurethane/stainless steel interlocking engine mounts for about $150.
does it make sense to re-use the original mounting system, or should i upgrade to the butler product?
i would really appreciate any thoughts you have on this one guys...
thanks!

40 + year old engine mounts, are you kidding. :rolleyes: Safety first. Try a set from Year One. Good factory replacements.

By the way I like your build thread. My first car was a 1968 GTO. I now have a 1969 GTO Judge resto-mod that I had since the age of 16. Now over 40 years.

Nice attention to detail. I spent two years detailing my parts. This is what takes the car to the next level. Keep up the good work.

That is looking great! Nice build.
Don't know how I missed this one. :knock:
