I know most of you guys have Porsche engines but most have a lot good ideas about most power plants. I have a V8 car and from the start my goal was to make it a reasonably comfortable driving car. One of the things I am looking at is adding more engine mounting points. I have a Renegade set-up and am thinking of installing a set of 911 engine mounts where the engine cross-member connects to the body. Thats as I understand the factory 4 cyl is done. Not using 911 mounts but similar. My question is about where the vibration comes from, at what point is it transfered the most. I wonder how much is transfered through the drive axles? You could have a great set of engine / transmission mounts and still get a lot of vibration via the axles. What do you guys think on the subject..? I know using the 911 mounts on the Renegade cross-member will introduce more forward / aft movement but the 911 mounts seem to have a firm hold on my transmission.
