Nick, I am still a bit confused (normal for me)  Did you install the
torque strap first and then the poly lock motor mounts later?  If so,
would you say that with the poly locks, a torque strap may not  be
needed?  I have seen the ads on poly lock motor mounts and know how
they are made and work.
 I think I already have the rubber insulaters from Shumacker. If not,
I will contact you.Thanks...................MO

But I found in my application there is a difference, the adjustable torque strap still has a rubber cushion on the bottom. It did limit the torque to the right but did little to stop the rebound to the left when the tranny was put into reverse. There was too much cushion in the stock motor mounts. The Poly Lock mounts had very little rebound, the right mount does not crush and the left mount does not expand keeping the engine in place at idle, acceleration, and negative movement to the left when put into reverse. This also helps stress on the transmission rubber insulator mount. My other issue that was solved was with Max Wedge exhaust manifolds the Poly Lock mounts both raise the engine and eliminate left movement giving clearance to the high pressure power steering fitting.
