Regarding the 16v aw4 auto swap into the LWB....

I was considering using Dodge 318 truck rubber motor mounts to mount the 16v.
Keeps the engine in stock location, and lines up well with radiator/shroud.
The rubber mount provides nice engine vibration dampening.

The Trail Tough aw4 auto transmission mount kit comes with a poly mount.

The Trail Tough 16v poly engine mounts raise the engine slightly , so I'm checking on options not to use them.


Does anyone foresee issues if I run this combination on the LWB?

I know on the 1980's fullsize GMC 4x4 trucks, people have run into issues if mismatching rubber/poly mounts due to the different flex characterics, and some owners have cracked their transmission housings. Therefore not recommended to mix...either run all rubber or all poly mounts in the drivetrain. This may not be an issue on Suzuki's,...I don't know.

I can’t imagine it being a problem, although personally I run the stock tracker rubber trans mount

Are the 1.3 and 1.6 OEM rubber engine mounts about the same strength?

[Gwagensteve]

As far as I know yes.
