Potential issues with solid motor mounts?

[gaboonviper85]

So I'm thinking again (danger!)....considering our motors are bolted to the front sub frame which is sep from the body by rubber bushings....yet the trans is bolted to the body and the motor block....wouldn't this put extream loads on the engine block when the car is moving or parked on uneven ground?

I was considering getting some bic solid mounts but the more I think about it, the more negitive I can come up with...vibration isn't an issue but I don't want to break anything.

For what it's worth, I've been running them for nearly 4 years in a car I drive every day, and I haven't broken anything. Yet.

Alot of people have I know.....but in my head I can see it flexing the block and may contribute to some bearing wear and or oil leaks....this probably wouldn't happen but it just seems like the transmission would stress the hell out of the block.
