Full Version: Patrick motor mount w/ rubber bushings?

I had the PMS weld-in 6 motor mount installed a couple years ago and am about to actually put the engine in. I'm hearing some complaints about noise & vibration from other street car owners. Has anyone tried using rubber bushes instead of the stock poly-carb?

I'll be running a 3.2 w/ DME, and it's a daily driver, so if its annoyingly loud or rough it won't be fun for long.

alternately, other regular street drivers w/ the PMS mount have experience they'd share to settle me down, or confirm I should think of something else?

Get the car up and running. Then sort it if you need to. Enjoy the six. beerchug.gif

yeah, just looking to see if anyone had tried this and thought it was worth it or not, or had a line on rubber in these dimensions

Maybe once you get the car running, the speed, power, acceleration and sound of that 3.2 might negate any annoying vibration. Hell! Noise and vibration is how I know my car is actually running! av-943.gif

I have a stock injected 3.2 with the RJ mount. I don't know how you could hear anything over the engine anyway. I had to buy a bigger amp for the stereo, so I could hear the radio.

Who listens to a radio in a 914??? smile.gif

Didn't even bother putting a radio back in the '73 when I redid it. There is an oil pressure gauge in its place...
