Biturbo engine mounts

These old FIAT mounts are even weaker than original engine mounts.
Original mounts, as many other engine parts, were sized for carb not powerful versions. So they crack quickly.

The other good plan is to buy on ebay auto-italia late QP4/GT mounts ($250 a pair but they last forever).
Or to buy them second hand and send them in Poland, basically twice cheaper:

Late style mounts are much more robust and about 1cm higher (for the ground clearance).

I am not sure that the QP4/GT/3200 mounts could fit the first biturbos. Do they?
I got the information that Campana will have a new batch of refabricated mounts in one - two months.
Interesting link to Deuter-Motorsport poliuretany.olkusz.pl/

Yes they do.
Maserati made evolve in a compatible way many components of these cars. There is no reason to not use late versions.

I just got 2 of these offered "In the spirit of the festive season" by MIE. Since the engine then comes 1 cm higher, is there a need to tune the propeller saft plate position (318020330) by taking off some washer (318020336)? Probably not (1/4 deg) ?. In my case there is only one washer under the plate. BTW I have never seen any factory document giving the alignment recommendation.

No alignment procedure and no need to align. You'll need longer bolts for the mounts.
