Shock/dampner on front of engine

[70barracuda]

So just like the title says, I have this shock attached to the front of my 2.5. Never seen anything like this before but it's old and I want to replace it. Any body know the part?  I've tried searching it with 10 different names and never could even a mention of it

It's called a torque dampener. 

 

Unbolt it and throw it in the trash. 

 

You can find aftermarket from $100 to $300, universal. 

 

Build yourself a set of engine mounts, you'll be happy.

I always found it hilariously amusing that AMC put a torque damper on the 2.5L (132 ft-lbs of torque), but not on the 4.0L (220 ft-lbs of torque).

the 4.0 is heavier? maybe it didn´t need it...
