It's your car and you can do what you want,John. I would use rubber. Do a search on poly bushings over at Team Chevelle.

Poly bushings don't make a car ride much harder,if any. What they do is bind up the articulation of the rear suspension enough to make one think the ride is harder. Bind isn't good.

Poly in the rear will cause a lot of bind in the A-body four link. It's not so much a hard ride but they tend to screw up the handling. Solid motor mounts will transmit a bunch of vibration through the car,especially the passenger compartment. Ditto for solid trans mounts. Clint Hooper H&H Custom,
