Excessive engine movement

Hi all,
Is it normal for a lot of engine movement while blipping the throttle? 3.2
I'll take a video tomorrow.

How do you know it’s moving a lot? Can you feel it?

With the car parked static and pressing on accelerator pedal the engine flexing is noticeable.

How much movement is normal?

Without seeing it it’s hard to say. It there was some knocking heard then it could be mounts

how old is the car? How many miles?

About the same as mine. I doubt there’s any issue, it’s a rather big engine by todays standards.

yes the 3.2 moves. wasted HP TBH. I changed engine mounts years ago. less flex means more HP to the ground
