An engine active motion control system for controlling engine dynamic torque includes an engine that generates a first dynamic torque. A first module selectively initiates generation of a second dynamic torque about an axis of rotation of a crankshaft of the engine in a direction opposite that of the first dynamic torque generated through the crankshaft.

An engine mount assembly includes a vehicle frame bracket supporting an engine mounted bracket through an isolator. The frame includes three triangularly positioned tubes extending through a frame rail and defining openings for bolts that secure the frame bracket to the frame. Two longitudinally spaced upper tubes engage V recesses formed by a lip on the frame bracket that guides the bracket into longitudinal alignment with the frame openings during assembly. An inclined ramp on the face of the frame bracket helps position the engine laterally during assembly. Optional flanges on the upper tubes engage slots in the V recesses to prevent lateral movement of the assembly prior to installation of the mounting bolts through the frame tubes. A laterally elongated opening in an isolator support on the frame bracket allows final adjustment of the engine lateral position, if needed.
