I agree an upgraded aftermarket motor mount is better than a stock on by far. I ran the poly when they first came out and later switched to the aftermarket rubber and noticed a difference in vibration when comparing the two.

I picked up,a used teraflex high steer kit this weekend....Yea...
Interested to hear your thoughts on this after you have it installed. It's crossed my mind a time or two, but I'd probably just buy the knuckle and use ruff stuff for the tie rod and drag link. What are you going to do for the track bar?

You have good questions.... You just filled in a piece to the puzzle, I'm going to use a Currie Johnny Joint adjustable track bar.

As we know with engine dynamics its air in air out combustion etc....so with this build I am working on each part of the system as I go
I tried to get some pictures to load but couldn't - Gibson stainless header & walker quiet exhaust

Nice. I was considering something like this as well. I prefer to keep it quiet
