Originally I had planned to use the P-30 motor mounts. After reading up on the mount problem here I am now confused.
1) If I run an A/C can I use the front mounts? From what I see those with A/C are using the Dodge setup. Is there any other available bracketry to mount the A/C so the P-30 front mount could be used?
2) If I run the Dodge setup what do I all have to get from the donor? Dodge Cummins parts are hard to find in the St. Louis area. So far I have not located any parts trucks.
3) Does one mount location allow more vibration than the other? It seems that with the front mount the weight of the engine is spread between the motor mounts and the trans mount. With the center mount the whole weight of the motor is right on them without any distribution to the trans mount.
4) I am not this far yet so I have an easy question. Is the motor mount bolt pattern the same on the front and center? Meaning can I put my P-30 front mount on the center location.
