I hope to switch to a 6 in the not too distant future so am thinking about installing the motor mount while I'm doing some body & paint work this year. Yeah, classic "while I'm in there" syndrome. So...
For those of you who have used both, does the weld in PMS mount transmit more vibration than the RJ style? I like the design of the PMS a lot, but this is a street car and I want my wife to like riding in the car. doesn't seem to have much rubber in there to isolate the engine from the body. Will either mount get in the way of a normal 4 setup, while I wait for the motor swap? seems like the Patrick mount is less likely to get in the way of anything. I'm assuming no issues with running heat exchangers on either mount, right? |

I use the RJ mount in the 3 cars I have built. It does not transmit any more noise thru the body as the engine is isolated on 911 rubber mounts.
The engine itself is louder than a 4 cylinder. I looked at Jim Lamonica's Six and his is quiet because: 1.) He used a 3.6 with hydraulic lifters. 2.) He added sound deadening to the back of the back pad. 3.) He used double the thickness back glass. I don't like Patricks' mount as it interferes with the heat exchangers regardless of what they may say though I admit I only had experience with one car with the Patrick mount. It does have its' advantages. That's all! |
