Pops I just read your latest updates and now realize why you were looking for rubber pads. I used the CCI mounts before I found Speedways,(unfortunately, price-wise) the difference between the two is that CCI uses the rubber, cups, and washers from the front mount. The cup flange fits into the hole of the side mount (Just like the front) and eliminates the engine from moving around. The puck you're using may let the engine move around on that pad. Try using that puck in the old cups to keep the engine in place. See mine below.

Pops, I measured the original cup and CCI's cup, both measure the same. I'm (almost) sure they are using the same parts as front mounts.
 
Interesting Will.....I'll have to check out that possibility....I do like the extra meat though.

I agree, and looking at the rubber showing in my pic looks thin, but there's more rubber in the cup. I've read posts where people think these mounts raise the engine too much and have problems with tranny clearance. I have a 700R4 and have no clearance issues. If anything it raises the engine to where there are no problems with the steering linkage hitting the oil pan. :)
