I just ordered a pair of vibration Isolation feet from McMacster-Carr, rated for 900lbs max, and another pair for 450lbs max. I paid roughly $180 for all. Sucks to have to dish out the money for something that I am not sure will work, but the apocolypse is coming so I've got to get this thing set up!

Ha! Ha!
Jens's engine is now epoxy bolted and concrete bedded to what he calls the bedrock holding Vancouver Island up out of the Pacific Ocean.

Phil/CMD are your new isolation mounts available yet?
Are they installed as a set of four or six?

Thanks

Damnit Jens, what are you tryin' to do to me????  ;)
 Yes, they were expensive, but they seem to work very well. Besides, what fun would solving problems be if you couldn't throw rediculous amounts of money at them?! Oh well... I'm just happy at the outcome. I tried the glass O water trick on the new setup, but the engine is slightly tilted foreward so the glass vibrated off of the valve cover, but if it was level, I might have pulled it off!
 I will upload the video of it soon.
