yes, I have. I'm running red urethane ones on the bellhousing end, and a custom mount I made on the nose end, with a mid mount in the middle. I'll see how they all held up once I get the tranny out. I may go with solid steel mounts, we'll see.

Gotta love anodized aluminum crack!

I've been running the Rhino mounts for a while now, have worked really well for me. Can't go wrong with a solid mount though.

Dropped the tranny off at Rancho yesterday. Should be interesting to find out what happened with it. He thought it might be a synchro. We'll see.
Also pulled the engine apart tonight. Looks brand new inside.

Those cam lobes look brand spanking new, what oil do you run in it?

Nothing fancy, just Valvoline 10-30. It's an SLR cam and lifters, and I broke them in properly. The lobes and lifters are perfect, even after daily driving and .553" lift at the valve. :thumbs:
