i just got my rolla running again after 2 months downtime with a spun bearing, so i decided to get the original cracked saggy engine mounts filled with urathane to stiffen them up.  . now i have the car running again the negine does not move and transfers all the vibrations and noises straight to the chassis. i havent actually driven it out on the road again yet but im expecting it to be mega harsh and noisy (moreso than before) but i am also expecting it to hook up a little better of the line and transfer a little more power to the wheels due to it not rocking and thrashing about violently under high torque loads.axle tramp should be reduced aswell.
if anyone is considering this for their east west engined car with the round style iso mounts i have 80A grade upper mounts and 70A grade lowers (slightly softer) and its VERY CHEAP to do if you have spare mounts it will cost around $20-40 done by a shop in a range of colours.
ill keep you posted with my thoughts on the upgrade
