That was my original plan. parts store availability. but with a poly bushing, the odds of it going south are pretty low. so its a build it once and never think about it type thing as well. the reason i went poly was to match the material the engine mount was made of. and the stockers have a bad reputation.

also, i think its bad business to mount the crossmember to bushings at the frame. it gives the drivetrain a lot of leverage on the bushing and therefore will move more than it would if the bushing is centered
