The Three Main Players seem to be Rich Johnson, MadDogs, & Patrick Motorsports
I'm loyal to Rich, but would like to hear some opinions RJ - $450-$500 - Looks Nice and the Motor Mount looks more stout than the others  MadDogs - $270 - Looks like a knock-off of Rich's, but is $200 cheaper. Looks like you can mount it lower  Patrick Motorsports $486 - different design. Their former Chrome-Moly bars had some problems with welds & cracking - are these any different  Opinions Please |

Sounds like Rich's mount is the preferred mount for a conversion.
I did notice something I wondered about with the Patrick mount...they have a Bolt-In version of it. How would that work? I'm not sure there would be enough surface area to hold in the engine with that, but I'm no expert at all. Anyone had experience with the bolt-in version? Maybe I should just contact Jim to find out any issues. |
