Has anyone had experience with the Shark Speed Mount Level III product advertised on the jageng.com site? I am getting vibrations after about 70 mph and thought this might be one thing to try. I am just suffering , perhaps, from the "too good to be true" syndrome. $26 instead of new mounts?

I think the vibration that you have may be more related to tires/wheels.
Typically, it seems as though worn/shot motor mounts are most noticable in the 1500 rpm range.
A quick check for shot motor mounts would be to look at your oil pan in comparision to the cross member. If your oil pan rides below the cross member - they're probably goners.
I wouldn't recommend (personally) the product you mention for long term cure. Just replace the mounts-you'll be glad you did.

Jay's right. Also if your motor mounts are bad, you mostly will notice it during throttle on or throttle off while driving the car.
The motor mounts on mine were fine. Being the age of the car I did buy the Shark Speed Mount product and installed it as a preventative measure. I think when the motor mounts do fail I will notice the difference in the squishing of the Shark Speed Mount. The idea of the motor mounts failing and allowing the aluminum pan to touch crossmember and vibrate while running is a severe "no-no" in my opinion.
