I had planned on just bolting the mount to the firewall. I had heard that if you don't weld it in place its easier to slip the engine in. The car is going in for the LineX undercoating next week and The firewall will be coated too. If I'm going to weld it in, now is the time.
Anyone have an opinion? |

I am having McMark weld mine in. I think that bolting it in would cause a serious amount of stress on the bolt locations unless you bolt it all the way around but then that would look a little lame and kind of discount the whole easier to install the engine thing....
