I've heard Rich Johnson's is great and Patrick's is trouble on this board.

Others I've spoken with say Patrick's is fine and doesn't break. Also Patricks headers are supposed to clear the shift linkage so no mods req'd.

I'm not afraid to weld in a mount.

What are the major differances between these mounts.

The project WILL start soon.

I wasn't overly thrilled with the Patrick cross bar mount for street use. Broke the mounting bolts twice. Ripped the crap out of the rubber donuts the last time, and just had their firewall box welded in. It is really one of those Jamie Kennedy moments when you grind on the inspection lid at the gas station with your motor mount, showering the on-lookers with sparks. (Ok, so I might have been leaving a little fast). That said, the bar mounts have worked fine for any number of racy car types, including Don Kravig, who spun the entire length of the straight in the gravel at Phoenix a few years ago without tearing the car apart. I guess the lesson here is that even the track-side rough is smoother than the streets if the 951. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
