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

[Lg914]

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.

You also need to think about what exhaust you're using, the shifting linkage and the oil lines. There needs to be room for everything to fit. Seems like a lot of work, but mocking it all up before final welding is a good idea. Sorry to complicate your life.

Thanks for the input. Trying to avoid mock up. But probably can’t. At the present time the engine is a state away safe and sound while the garage with the car is small without adequate storage to safely store the motor. I am going to use Ben’s heat exchangers and exhaust. All oil cooler pluming will be braided soft lines except for the one short hardline on the motor.

I love a puzzle but don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Always willing to learn from others.

My engine was too low in the front using stock six bulkhead bracket and NOS rubber mount.raised it up and reached a compromise between the motor being level and the engine having the least gap with the engine tins.
I have to move my brake regulator, to the PO try to find this part and fit it...its there for a reason.
Mark Henry nailed it with fitment, it may require pulling it twice and refitting atleast,you can't assume anything in this situation ,the PO of my car told me the position of the welded in bulkhead mount was modeled off an original six....someone got it wrong ,do it right the first time as it a tight fit in there and there can be clearance issues.
