360 engine mounts, CS version?

Stand corrected , but isn't that the top gearbox mount that is the 430/CS stiffer/different construction option ?

 

I can tell you that when the engine mounts in my F355 died, I replaced tham with the Challenge mounts.

While you can tell that there is more vibration, it is hardly noticeable.

 

Here is an interesting discussion of using the CS mounts from the UK:

Engine and transmission mounts for 360

The discussion there is focused on gearbox mounts but also discusses engine mounts. Here is a quote from 360trev there:

"The regular road car bushes on the 360 Modena, Spider, 430 Coupe, 430 Spider, etc. are made from relatively soft, much more pliant material (rubber) since this transmits far less nvh (noise, vibration, harshness) from the engine/gearbox assembly back to the chassis. If you fit uprated bushes there will be both pro's and con's of doing it. Ferrari fitted uprated material bushes only on the Challenge and CS/Scud editions because they are the 'raw' models. The most obvious negative will be more vibration felt in the cabin. Of course doing just the gearbox one on its own doesn't seem worthwhile, particularly if your not considering doing all the bushes at the same time.

Pro's
Less movement under hard off the line acceleration/hard braking/cornering.
A more direct feel and reduces slack on standard mounts
More precise steering (when you upgrade the wishbone bushes)

Con's
More vibration and harshness is transmitted through the chassis and into the cabin.
Ride comfort gets more harsh and crashy on everyday roads
Bushes can squeal over rough surfaces."

I'm having the same work done in about three weeks, and I think I will stay with the standard mounts, unless your research shows a real advantage to the CS mounts.

 

does anyone know, the f430 engine mounts will fit the 360 Modena?
are they physically the same ??
someone must know this !!

 

It fits.
physically not identical but not discernible if you don't use a caliper

 

thanks for the info, the engine mount for the f430 is a lot cheaper!

 

really? how so? what are the prices , respectively?

at my Ferrari parts supplier!

 

i replaced my old engine mount on a Modena 360 with a new one from the F430, except it's three times cheaper i see no other difference!

Um according to Ricambi web site the 430 mount is considerably more expensive and according to Algars web sit the 430 mount is somewhat more expensive.

So what? I never buy from offshore suppliers and neither do most here.

 

that's your problem!
