I have one of these on each of my 914/6's, Similar to the Patrick Motorsports mount, but with a slightly better design, and cheaper.

The welder that puts these together is a chassis builder and Master Welder for a Nascar team, so the quality is without question. He also did all the suspension welding work on my race car, installing the Tangerine Racing Raised pick up points kit.

Price is $375 plus shipping.

the part that mounts to the engine itself is powdercoated Black, the ends that weld to the bulkhead are bare so they can be painted uniformly once on the car.

PM or Email me at bob@naroescapemotorsports.com for questions.

Are these considered to be solid mounts. Where are the rubber dampeners and are they readily available?

Great looking mounts... but I have a quick question. Will the 993 lower pulley 'clear' the mount- is it large enough for it?

Once you install one of these and remove/reinstall your engine you will wonder why you ever suffered through the other. Truly makes it a one man job if you have the jack plate adapter to balance the engine.

I'm going to say yes, kinda...The bushings are made out of Delran which is a very hard plastic like material and do not offer much dampening.

We have this mount on our street car Huey, and yes, I do notice a small amount more vibration and noise in the cockpit. But there is also a sense of immediate responsiveness we felt too - no more twisting on the rubber mounts.

Hmmm...can you tell me the diameter of the pulley? I don't see why it wouldn't, Papa Smurf has a larger pully on it than normal (though, what exactly normal is for a 3.4, 330 hp engine is I don't know) and it clears fine.

To sixaddicts post - yes, both shops that have worked on my cars since we've put on this mount LOVE how easy it is now...

Patrick's are $450, so it's already a $75 savings. Not much margin in them as it is with material and labor costs...

Read back to my earlier post ...I have had the latest Patrick system in two of my sixes and this mirrors it. I have one of these for next project. There is no comparison to the ease of pulling the engine with the other mounts you site. On the pain spectrum, the factory system is hell, and the others are challenges of varying degrees. This one is truly a piece of cake. I change engines alone and it is easy. Nobody needed on top to hold bolts etc. Bob has his "minions" to do that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) so he doesnt have to worry. ...All joking aside this is a great mount system.
