I've been reading about the desirability of either rubber or poly mounts for ride comfort, any issues with frame flex stress transmitted to the body with the hard poly mounts?

Chevrolet went to the rubber body mounts to reduce noise.  IIRC, it was in 1973.

I've got rubber ones to go on. Only upside I could see to poly was it used to be cheaper.U
