Default Newbie from Orlando, bit of a car ****.... will try to play nice

Howdy, haven't done this in a while. Been building cars for ages now. Currently Drive an 03 mazda 6, without boring your Chrysler guys too much it is sponsored by streetunit perfomrance, used for a test car by GTspec and Superchips...... Recently sold the wife's CA18DET swapped S13 with several parts I fabricated on my own as she never drove the damn thing after buying a G35. Step father nuked his 9 second GMC sprint at the track the week before Thankgiving so I will probably end up working on that monster again when time comes to shell out some dough on that.

Anywho, I would be asking myself at this point why are you here then? My father has an 04 Pacifica and as I have read a few of the threads on here it is as much a living nightmare for everyone else as it has been for him. I intend to correct all of the issues that keep arising and developing parts along the way if i have to in order to correct things that IMO Epicly fail.

On the top of the list is all 3 of the engine mounts and 1 transmission mount, replacing them with something more solid is what I have in mind. I helped in the design and development of streetunit performance's dog bone mount for the mazda 6(still daily beating the snot out of it 70k later... mind you my OEM and 1 aftermarket ones never lasted 20k). I believe the design is almost identical on the Torque bottom mount on the Pacifica based on pictures i have seen and if this is the case, SU is will be throwing me another freebie to test it out and pass on the good word. Curious if anyone has a good or even bad OEM one and could measure the distance between the 2 mount holes? I could measure 2night, but finals are kinda getting in the way.

Does any company make an aftermarket urathane side engine mount?

I'm fearing what might be the cause of consumption(more than dad just driving it like he stole it), but everywhere I have asked say that the 3.5s don't have a PCV? is this correct?

Anyway...... I will lurk and help out when my gears link up properly. I love working on cars, but this pacifica was not exactly what I was looking forward to.
