I forgot to add I put a ultra bell on my trans this year....I cracked 2 350ths last year ......so i changed every thing ...motor mounts pinion angle ...rear setup ultrabell ....new 1 piece floorpan new paint ...new hood ... new fiberglass trunk lid... carpet I love my new hood from VFN...it gets rid of the vents for your wipers and the cowl goes to your winshield...............................

Sounds like you got a new car.

did you crack the cases on your TH350's due to the solid trans mount ?

No i was running all poly ....motor and trans

I have always run solid motor and trans mounts. The rule is that id you run a solid trans mount then you have to have solid motor mounts. if the trans is solid and the motor isnt then the twist can break the trans

Never, ever, run a solid trans mount. For those of you fortunate enough to get away with it you are lucky. Solid motor mounts and a flexible trans is the best, chassis flex is a killer without something that will give a little. Too much pinion angle, incorrect driveshaft length will also break cases. My dad broke a bunch before figuring it out in a Camaro. A roll bar/roll cage and subframe connectors will do wonders to help with flex.

Yes my pinion angle was a little to much too..and i do think that was alot of the problem

I have always ran steel motor mounts and a stock trans mount. The car is going to flex and something has to give. Dedenbear trans now, but plenty of stock turbo 350 cases. Best 60foot times 118............... Great, now Im going to have trans problems. Thanks

I run solid frame mounts, no rubber inside them. Solid motor mounts home made from 3/8" steel, and a rubber transmission mount. No problems. I wouldn't even consider running a solid tranny mount.
