Delrin Front Motor Mount for Mopar 3.0L 6G72
This is a solid Delrin (Acetal) front motor mount for SOHC (12-valve) 3.0L V6 (6G72) equipped Chrysler vehicles. This mount is the same for all three transmissions available with the V6, and in all the available models the engine was used.
As shown below, the stock mount is hollow and not very strong. The motor sounds smoother and shifts are much crisper. There is not any noticeable added vibration on a car with any suspension modifications, actually the opposite seems true. Mashing the gas pedal, the car is much more responsive, as the motor does not lose as much torque into the mounts. On a car with a stock setup, there is some added vibration though; although not much.
The mount is installed just as the stock mount. Once on the car, it looks stock, unless one knows what to look for. Installation takes about 45 minutes, with floor jacks, socket set, and a hammer to knock the old mount out and fit the new mount in. The mount does not include the mounting bracket, as the bracket does not need to be removed from the vehicle.
Delrin (Acetal) motor mounts, transmission mounts, and bushings are each machined from a solid blocks, and have either Stainless Steel or Aluminum bushings fit into the mounts to act as a point of contact for the connecting bolts when required. Delrin is an extremely strong and stiff plastic. It is commonly used in place of metal in applications where metal can not be used (magnetic, corrosion, or conducting / insulating reasons). These are much stiffer than polyurethane mounts, and it will not give or wear out. Delrin mounts should never need to be replaced, unlike the stock units which are usually considered a wear item.
Delrin mounts minimize the jumping or twisting of the motor under the hood. This movement is caused by the rotating mass of the crankshaft and transmission components. With stock mounts, the engine will twist itself in the engine bay when the throttle is opened, or during high-speed shifts. Over time, this force will destroy the stock rubber mounts. When this happens, the rubber may split or rip, allowing the engine to potentially move inches back and forth. This can destroy CV joints, other mounts, and create wheel-hop.
With our mounts, shifts will be much crisper. While pressing the gas pedal, a vehicle is much more responsive; as the motor does not lose as much torque twisting into the mounts.
At a price usually less than that of inferior stock mounts, these are not only a great performance item, but a bargain for each application.
