I thought this whole package was designed by VWofSA?  Why should anything
have to be welded?

Jason, it has been suggested, properly I believe, that the TIICO motor
mount/engine carrier needs to be welded, not suspended on rubber bushings.
As it comes, it can float between the frame of the van and the engine. This
is because is has rubber mounts at both the engine and at the frame of the
van, allowing it to move independently from both the engine and the van. So
damping might not (probably isn't) even be part of this picture.

Unless you also intend to alter the laws of physics, wouldn't vibration
always be a function of the mount, even with a more efficient mount? Just
a better dampening unit and less vibration transferred to the chassis.
