If you keep breaking motor mounts why not go with either a Poly motor mount with a torque strap or a solid motor mount. I'm running solid motors mounts and a solid tranny mount and love them. There is a good bit of vibration but it doesn't bother me. I'm not sure if any damage would be done to the hooker side pipes but they may actually keep the motor from coming up and hitting your hood.

No, but I have a 416 rwtq 454 with poly mounts. Sounds like you need to get some polyurethane mounts from Energy Suspension since it seems the stock mounts can't handle your ZZ4's torque. I replaced mine after finding out the same weakness in the stock mounts when I still had my chambered undercar system. I'd do it before or at the same time you switch to the Hookers.

toooo late hit the hood and made a star in the paint :mad
the tq is not what is killing them its the reving to 5000 rps and then dropping it into drive :D J/K
thanks for the info
