Not sure if this should go here, but figured it would be the least offensive to the moderators...
We've developed a weld-in 914-6 mount that's similar in design to the Patrick Motorsports mount, but has some improvements with strengthening and angles. I personally run these on both of our cars: Huey with a stock 3.2 liter Papa Smurf with a full out 350 hp, 275 lb/ft torque, twin plugged 3.2 liter No problems, no issues, easily handles the power and makes installing the engine actually really easy! Price is $375 plus shipping (usually about $25) |

A couple people have asked about a template for the mount. I will include simple instructions and this diagram, but I thought I would post it here too:
Mounting location is very easy: assemble the mount (bolt the pieces together with all bushings in place) and fit the welding plates into the corner created by the ridges in the firewall sheet metal and the bottom ridge/lip. Mark the location of the weld plates, then disassemble and weld on your plates individually. I would recommend re-checking your location after you're first plate is welded in case you move it a little - just reassemble and make sure your second mount is still aligned. We tried to design this to make installation as easy as possible. One thing that every mechanic that's worked on the car since it's been installed says is that putting the engine in and out is now REALLY easy - you just raise the engine to the point that the cross member slides in between the chassis mounts and run the bolts through. The engine can be at an angle and still be bolted in, allowing you to then focus on the transmission mounts. |
