Motor Mount questions

[vwnuts at yahoo.com (Anthony Pelletier)]

I took stock side mounts and glued them using
construction polyurathane glue from home depot.  This
in combination with a red poly front mount an a rear
motorsport mount help up very well to 250+whp.  No
motor rocking at all.  I still had some wheel hop, but
that could have been the rather soft sport springs I
had.  It was rather rough in the carthough.  There was
alot of vibration in the car.  
YMMV
