V8R engine mounts?
Has anyone tried the 62a v8roadsters engine mounts yet? My old 70a awr mounts were about 105% of my nvh tolerance level for a street driven car and I'm building another BP powered car over the winter.

I didn't think the awr mounts were nearly as bad as everyone says. They were just ever so slightly over my tolerance level. Not much at all. I'll use them again, but if the v8r ones are slightly less vibratory, then I'll try those. I'll try anything once. Even ----.

I have AWR 70A mounts in Rover and they are way beyond my tolerance for NVH in a street car too. I have Mazdacomp motor mounts in Acamas along with Energy poly diff mounts, and that's aggressive, but still streetable.

As a data point, I had the 949 hybrid mount kit and it was definitely street able. I've switched to Blackbird drop mounts (low nvh) and there is an appreciable increase in nvh. My car is so loud on the inside even with mtnet approved muffler, I just considered it a free butt massage.
The mounts have since quieted down which could purely be my getting used to them. Car feels great though. I really have a tough time justifying Mazda comp mounts the way the last two deteriorated in a two year time. Maybe my dp is too close?

I recently switched to an enclosed bushing type mount. I will never go back to mazdacomp mounts. There is no comparison in the amount of engine movement control. I would consider trying the hybrid type
