Default motor mounts

Any one know were to get poly motor mounts from or if it's possible to make your own I was looking at the motor mounts and I am trying to figure out how exactly to go about making custom ones by pouring my own polyurethane. Any ideas or places to get them would be great am trying to firm up wife's car.

The reason I am asking about custom ones is I was looking and the 2 screws are at different places on theout so I would not be able to do a straight forward mold.

Would it be possible to make a slit in the mount drain out the oil then use a caulking gun and fill it fill polyurethane?

The car is not going to firm up by replacing the engine mounts with polyurethanes unless you want more vibration from powertrain to be transmitted to the chassis.

Yes I know also i want to prevent cracking of my ppe headers as well make the chassis stiffer. I also have bc coilovers and have all braces and sway bars by ultra racing as well as a custom made rear strut bar brace. The motor mounts as well as other bushings are the only things left on the chassis to make it stiffer.

So any idears about how to make polyurethane motor mounts?

No - but please post pics of your LS1 / T56 LS with Ultra Racing suspension upgrade.

Stiff motor mounts will increase NVH. But if that is what you want, then http://shopfigs.com/v3/index.php?route=product/category&path=41_122_238

Think he's got the point now we know he's full of ****. He's been active but zero posts since he was called out. It's weird someone would choose to lie about owning and modifying a decade old boat like the LS430 and waste their time posting all the junk he has in such detail.
