It has to do with Dodge's engine mounting system. The axis of the engine & trams is arranged in the mounts to reduce vibration. If you check out some old ads on YouTube they cover it well!

Agreed-most any engine with the "sandwiched" rubber mounts is considered "full floating power".

chryselr invented the idea in the 20s or 30s and some other car companies actually paid them to use the technology.

The Chrysler patented "Floating Power" concept involved the mounting geometry, not just the rubber isolation mounts, as ashyers noted.
