I didnt have a solid mount with the last set up with the GT35 and the engine was twisting that much under full load that the front housing would touch the bonnet and the powerglide mount on the gearbox cross member is all twisted and out of shape. The front cover on the GTX42 is close to the strut tower if i had a normal 1 in there everytime i loaded up the car it would smash into the tower.

Go solid mounts both sides. I've broken drivers side with a solid passenger on soft passes. Doesn't feel any different all solid
