    Default Anyone make hydraulic engine mounts for 304 V8?

    Just been reading that V6 Commodores have oil-filled hydraulic engine mounts for better isolation, and of course V8s have the normal rubber block mounts. Mine are needing replacement because they have definitely gone hard so I was wondering does anyone make a hydraulic mount for 304 V8s? The goal is shooshy quiet and smoothness.

    The 5L's run pretty smooth anyway??

    There wouldnt be enough room to run oil filled mounts... I have not idea if they are made, but thats my theory anyway

    Yeah, they do run smooth but if I gotta replace them anyway I thought I'd see what was available.

    they are rather pointless, its just a company trying to over engineer an already efficient and reliable design. Ive got some at the moment and the little buggers have leaked out and now clunk, the standard mounts are better in my opinion and for the long run.
