I contacted Richard Parr (the designer and manufacturer of the much desired PMO carbs) to get his take on solid mounts. Here is that exchange:

Hi Richard
Can you give me your thoughts about solid motor mounts in a 911 with carbs.
I seem to recall past conversations where you had some strong feelings about this issue.
Thank you
Hello Henry,
I think solid motor mounts are the worst. They will sometimes stick the floats and always aerate the fuel, along with crystallizing the crank and rods and rattling everything loose and turning the driver’s compartment into the inside of a snare drum, etc. But they look cool, being CNC machined and macho; kind of like trinkets to Indians.
Bottom line: they (solid mounts) are way beyond ignorance and deeply into stupidly. Guess those are strong feelings.
