Looking for peoples experience with using 2nd gen dodge mounts on a 4bt. I was going to use them but have heard so much about the P30 mounts that I would like info from people who have used these mounts(2nd gen dodge) and can tell me what they are really like. I am sure other people would like to know too. I don't really want anecdotal evidence.:tongue:

There's only one problem with using 2nd gen 6BT engine mounts with the 4BT. The starter motor gets in the way.

Is that with a chevy a dodge or both?

Both.

When Cummins shortened the 6B to make the 4B they removed no 5 & 6, from the rear. So now the mid mounts are rear mounts. Thats why people most make custom mounts for whatever isolaters they choose to use. Now you could make custom mounts that fit the front attachments points that use the second gen isolaters, that would be unique.

I have been thinking about the 2nd Gen mounts also. I would think the fabbing brackets for the front mounts you be the better way to go. Just need to find some mounts.

It has been done

I knew I'd seen it done. we have a member called Charlie who has done it and posted pics, he had to reverse mounts left to right . here is the thread,http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21

Yes I did have to switch LH to RH & RH to LH . I think their going to work OK. The motor isn't running yet but we'll see. The starter fits really nice in there & also the dipstick . I am using the Dodge flywheel hsg adapter & the NV4500.

Swap the left side to the right and vice versa, now why didn't I think of that.
OK so they will fit with a little bit if girinding and fitting. Good show.

I stand corrected! To me it just didn't look like they would work! Cool! That might come in handy for the next repower.
