Default Vortex max motor mount issues

Hello I have a 07 v-max with pacesetter headers, custom tune, cam, cold air intake I keep breaking drive side mount. I have even gone as far as replacing both motor mounts and Trans mount and still having trouble keeping the driver side from breaking at the boot! Not a fan of the clamshell mount any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Any suggestions on where I could get solid mounts from? Could this be a heat issue damaging the boot over time and if so would it be a good idea to wrap the headers and or make a heat shield for the mount.

It has a firm shift after beefing up trany. We added corvette servos and springs and installed z-pack clutch assembly

Something else is up, far from enough power to break the mounts

Im worried if you go solid may crack the block

But if you look in members built items there's a guy that sells some....I made my own tubular mounts

But look for misalignment of driveline

If it was used, Look for previous frame repair damage.
