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) |

Regarding the improvements, we found the Patrick mount needed more support at a few points - both on the weld-to-the-chassis mounts and the engine cradle. We actually used a program from Gibbs Racing - which measures strength and weakness points - to design it.
For example: look at the Patrick pieces that weld (or bolt) to the chassis. See how the connection for the engine cradle is at the END of the mount? On ours, we 'cradle' it, and make the mount a bit bigger and stronger - to add more support. there are also additional supports on the engine cradle too, just hard to see from the Patrick pictures... Don't get me wrong, Patrick's mounts are good mounts, we just think we were able to improve on them some and offer them at a lower price. |
