Hi guys looking to mount my engine in the project soon, curious which type you all use and for which reasons?
Mainly the downwards screw type


compared to the bush type


I have the stock downwards-type from the car but they're big, although rather lightweight

Any pros and cons to either?

For ref engine is a heavy audi 2.7TT, mid engine non-locost

First are landrover jobs. Used because they are a very generic design, cheap, and unlikely to go out of production anytime soon.
pics dont work for 2nd type

I used the Bush tupe and the movement was minimal. The vibration was not notiable either, but it was with a V6.

I was just using the type, i do actually have some bushes like it already but they're very firm!

I guess the ideal bush is soft enough to absorb vibration but with minimal deformation to keep everything where it belongs

was it just regular suspension bushes you used? Poly or natural rubber?

I'm using the original Jag V6 mounts, large, but still need 25mm packing. My thought process (rightly or wrongly) is that they are designed for the engine and I already have them

Description

My 907/Getrag sits on three rubber bobbins (either side of engine and one under the gearbox)

They were Austin Metro, but almost identical to the Land Rover ones in the first post.

Nothing moves much.
