What's the verdict? I can't tell much from the picture but it looks like the new one is slightly better.

Very identical, cannot beat Westar for $7 each on RA.

Weight is almost similar, I'll measure them later.

Metal thickness is similar, stock being slightly thicker on some parts.

I wouldn't hesitate to use these for replacement.

Cool. I will have to write that down.
I don't have a 350 or GMT 400 at the moment but I never know what I might end up with.

First Guess (with no evidence): That RWD "C"-series mount is made in the same factory using the same rubber insert as the Anchor and Power Torque 4WD "K"-series mounts I bought at O'Reillys.

Rubber part does look similar but the smetal design/thickness is definitely better than these 2 brand.

I was hoping you'd say that. The steel shell looked thinner than OEM to me, but I couldn't tell if that was real or just the way it appears on my monitor.

The piece-of-crap K-series mounts are a disaster. At least there's still sturdy mounts available for the C-series. They're what hold the engine in place in a collision. Thin steel = engine in your lap, crushing your legs.
