Dick,

I have run rubber mounts, but the engine and transmission are now bolted
directly to the frame. I don't see any advantage to rubber mounts except a
little less vibration throughout the car. Bolting solid eliminates one more
"weak link". I certainly would not mix types of mounts. It makes good sense
to use rubber for engine and trans or solid
for both.
