Instead of solid motor mounts and rubber trans, I was thinking Delrin all the way through, motor, trans, pinion. Please advise. Derin is very strong and rigid, but has just enough compliance to keep metal fatigue and stress failures from emerging. Gods willing this car will make hundreds and hundreds of passes. I'd like it to be durable as can be (after we blow up the rear end maybe. ). My understanding is that most serious modern draggers have gone away from solid mounts.
