The discussion of body mounts for 6 Cyl cars/conversions made me think about 4 Cyl cars.
Years ago I made a set of solid mounts (aluminum) for my 2.4 engine. I then trimmed the ends of the cross bar so it would hang at the correct height under a set of 911 engine mounts placed in the body. I was fairly happy with the results. I now see there is a nylon engine mount kit, but a few people complain about too much engine vibration. So I was thinking of using the nylon kit (no rubber near the oil and heat of the engine), and then a set of 911 mounts in the body. Instead of trimming the cross bar, it looks like I can flip the mounts (and maybe space them up with a washer). Any thoughts? Maybe use "Sport" mounts? Anyone know why the 914/6 mount was so different from the 911 mount of the day? Would there be any advantage to a body mount for a 4 Cyl engine? |
