Patrick motorsports/naroescape motorsports 6 engine mount, Any one have any tips and tricks for the installation . Options

Good Saturday fine people.
I am getting things ready to install a naroescape motorsports engine mount for our six conversion. I understand that the engine will sit lower and after communicating with them they said the engine tin would need to be bent up in order to meet with the sealing rubber. Further they said that the mount is positioned where is is (low) so that it didn’t interfere with the proportioning valve for the rear brakes. We we don’t have have this valve as somewhere in it’s life our car was modified with a T fitting. We have autocrossed the car last year and didn’t find this to be an issue. So maybe I just weld the mount Ira bit higher? This is basically the same mount that Patrick Motorsports sells and they make it work on their builds.

So my question is this. Any one have any experience with these mounts? I am interested in the tilting aspect to be able to get my fat fingers to work on the engine while in the car. Telling me to ditch. This mount and get a different mount is not going to be very helpful (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I want to make this work but don’t want to reinvent the wheel.

Thanking everyone in advance for any help.

Bolt it up un-welded, install the engine, bolt up the trans mounts, then using a jack etc position it so the seal hooks onto the tin nice, keep in mind it will settle a 1/8"-1/4" with full weight and tack weld it in place. Tack in places you can easily grind in case you need further adjustment. Remove engine and finish welding the mount.

The way I did this is with my 2 post lift and a scissor lift table which is probably the easiest and safest way. I used an RJ copy but the procedure should be the same.
