I'm looking for the urethane inserts rather than the complete billet setup. I have tried Energy, but having a difficult time so far locating them. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You gota drill out your dg's to use these. You will be going through about an inch of steel.

That's the way I did it, and total cost is about $50.  These work extremely well, and my engine doesn't even move at all.  The rear torques down about a 1/4", but the engine never rocks. Where I work we have a machine shop in house and I asked one of the guys if they could mill them out for me.  They turned out perfect according to Chris A's directions.  Thanks Chris :D

there are 2 ways to do it!  you can drill out the holes like chris suggested or you can grind the poly into the shape of the interior of the dogbone like I did.  Its  up to you but both ways work.  I basically ground the poly in a rounded shape.
hi-flow intake, straight pipe, dsm bov, 24lb inj,  polished upper intake, turbo, and frt valve cover.

I decided against the urethanes at the moment...so I added a sleeve around the existing bolts that seem to work real nice. I'm doing alot of performance work now and in the future may need the stronger urethanes to handle the added power. I did not like the look of the billets and I didn't want to modify the originals, so I'm trying this.
