Pros/Cons of these?

cons: you feel everything the motor is doing
you are not isolated from vibrations

pros: you transfer more power to the drivetrain,,nothing is absorbed by the mounts
you feel everything the motor is doing {whitch I like}
less weight
more room for headers and such

I've read that the vibration isn't as bad on a full frame vehicle, guess I'll find out :) I don't think it'll be a problem tho, at least not for me. :D

dave I don't think its going to matter much if you have solid or cushoin mounts its still going to vibrating and camming its ass off.

The amount of vibration will also depend somewhat on how it's balanced.
If Ryan built it as a race engine it is probably over-balanced some. It will make some vibration at lower rpms but will be super-smooth in the upper rpm ranges. Between the cam and the balance - it'll be buzzy in the truck.... but WAY COOL!
