Brad850 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 People talk about this in multiple threads and I can never find a definitive answer. Does the (supposedly) stiffer front motor mount (8631702) that was made for 302 cars fit older p80s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I too am wondering this. The P80 front mount sags too much more often than it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The pass side motor mount is available in a stiffer version for 302 cars, not the front. I got just the mount for my car and added the AWD spacer as I couldn't find the one for 302 AWD cars. IIRC IPD or FCP listed the different part #.

Yellow95 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Oh I am all about upgrades. I just cant wrap my head around how the mount ties into brakes. The ridicule is for Volvo engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better brakes means more leverage on the rotors, which transfers to the hubs, which transfers to the axles, which transfers to the trans, which transfers to the motor, which is all support by the motor mounts. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duh. Not exactly in this order...but yes the engine will suffer more G-s in that case if the braked tires can keep up the increased decceleration.
