i did some research and think these **might fit from summit as dodge darts supposedly have the same motor mount BUT i'm not sure if the year is correct..
did you check with all of polybushings retailers there are a few and they take credit cards if you do a search on the viper club of america there is a 4-5 page thread that has all the shops that carry his mounts good luck. i got my mounts from somewhere in tx fwd performance or something here is another one ib delaware .Turbos Unleashed |:..:| Shelby Dodge & Chrysler turbos, intercoolers, headers, parts and accessories
thanks for the link, i must not be understanding something because i only see poly transmission mount (i just bought one from summit). I'm looking for MOTOR mounts.
Dave BB is making them! I'm waiting for him to have them ready to ship (anytime soon!) I have a bust passenger side motor mount, it's still held by the metal tabs, I put new OE one's in a couple of years ago, so I'm keen to try Daves, they will also have the metal locking tabs.

you had a passenger side mm break mine looked brand new and the drivers was in 2 pieces i replaced it and ripped the new solid poly one in half in less than 50 miles they replaced for free and no prob yet. i have only heard of the drivers side going breaking in half so if you pass side is bad i would guess your drivers is too.
we installed the motor mounts and found that the headers would not sit right as it needed some sort of shim... as we didnt have any we added wide washers to act as the shim... will this cause motor flex or other problems?
ALso a bigger problem is that we jacked up the transmission to remove the tranny mount and heard a slight crunch, then swapped out the old mount with the new poly one and added the "pre load plate" which looks more like a shim and it now stands taller than the old mount did. Once we tightened all the screws we tried the shifter and noticed it is VERY DIFFICULT to move the shifter. Is this likely due to the higher hight of the new poly tranny mount?...should we remove the plate that came with the mount to lower it to normal height? Did jacking up the tranny cause something to bend or get severely f'd up?

Word is, that the plate is to be left out.
I didn't have to jack trans up much if at all to switch trans mounts. No crunch - that's for sure.
Odds are that crunch has something to do with your shifting difficulties. A plate adding height, might throw off your U joint alignment front to rear, but wouldn't/shouldn't create shifting difficulties-especially when not even going down the road.
thats what my mechanic brother thought too. I will remove the plate. The directions said specifically to INSTALL WITH THE PLATE but... the mount is also for a GM application... I'll remove it and update. hopefully we havnt bent anything by jacking up the tranny (only about 3-4 inches)
Instructions also say to install the mount with the bulge to the rear. I did do that, in fact I initially put it in towards the front-so I had to redo it..
i hope your joking as i dont remember reading that part and no clue which direction i placed it... and i have no desire to ever swap that out again with a regular ratchet.

I'm not joking. It was in the instructions with the poly mount I got from Summit. I don't know how important that part is, but evidently there's some structural thing inside the mount that causes the bulge, and they wanted it facing the rear of the car.
I didn't relish the thought of going back underneath either, but having done it once, it was a piece of cake the second time
tested it out today and my car no longer has a shifting problem when going into 3rd gear. I would suggest anyone who is having trouble missing 3rd to replace their motor and tranny mounts as this defiantly fixed my problem.
