Re: Poly Motor Mounts

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

Drive on the poly for a while and get aquainted with the feel.  Then in
couplea months, when you have the nice weather and spare time to do the
swap and back again if necessary, change it out.  Do some light to light
driving and get yourself on the highway at your normal cruising speed. 
It probably will not take long for you to love it or leave it.  If at
that time you say "To hell with this!" I'll be happy to buy it from you.
