i am sure about the two types of engine mounts. my 360-83 and several others have only-rubber-metal mounts. the never type (hydraulic) is worse...had to replace such ones at several occasions...but mine look good even today...no touching the subframe or abnormal noise...two types are interchangeable...seems to me they do not produce the older ones any more these days...sorry...

Ok, i'm wondering if someone can make a picture of the pre 83 engine mount of the 2-litre. I'm realy wondering what is different about it.

i looked at my car. good image can be taken only from underneath or after dismantling the mount ...the mount itself is not round, i feeled rubber only by my fingers while touching it...sorry cannot make any picture today...

Could you measure the length of them excluding the studs please.

I had to order engine mounts from Volvo. 220€ pair...
Still interested in poly-mounts if available someday?

If I can get the size I'm sure they will be available very soon in poly. I have a mount already that looks like it is close enough.

i have taken a picture of these now. seems to me it is too large...anyways i am trying to publish it here...
recently i bought 86 GL with B200K and replaced one of its engine mounts with another, which i took from my 83 GLT (parts donor car). in the middle of the job i decided to have these items photographed...maybe someone is interested...i also am going to make one custom mount to avoid further problems with these items...photos will be taken too...

Hello mgarageu.

I'm really interested in make a custom mount for my B200 (or fit another similar mount). How do you think do the mounts?

Thanks in advance.

I'm very interested of the pics of the older style mounts and any custom solution available!

together with the old-style mounts, there should be a 'engine damper' (sort of shock absorber) between the rear beam under the engine and the engine/bellhouse itself.

trying another time to have acceptable pics...

chrystal clear, thanks a lot!


looks like old/new style mounts can be made exchangeable by drilling some extra holes in the support.

never seen this type of rubber suspension before, makes sense though.

oh now I see the second picture..

the extra holes are already there

i put away the older version steel hanger. used the new one, the older style mount and had to make some minor work on the alloy leg, which is between mount and engine block. the changes were about to avoid the mount to turn while doing the lower nut. sorry about my bad english - i simply cannot remember how the say about the place on the leg, which holds the mount not turning around...somethere else there are lock pins etc.

Hello again.

I've read the post again and don't know what exactly has to be modificated. It's possible to mount the engine damper as original or it's needed make a custom mount? What would be the life of the older type mounts?

Thanks a lot for the info an sorry for my bad english.
