QUOTE(bigkensteele @ Dec 16 2014, 08:43 PM)  QUOTE(carr914 @ Dec 16 2014, 05:56 AM) I had one and didn't have problems. That said if I was doing a conversion I would use Naro's new one I have commitment issues. If I ever want to go back to a 4 to sell the car, I would have the option. If I were going to do a bulkhead mount, I think that I would rather do the bolt-in kind, as I would be able to take it off and keep it if I sold the car. My second reason is that I use the threaded rod method for engine removal/installation as it is safe and easy for one person. I suppose that I could still do that with some of the other bulkhead mounts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I wouldn't bolt in a bulkhead mount, but a /4 will still fit with a bulkhead mount installed. I bet maddog would sell you just the firewall section if you sold the car. |

That Patrick quick six bar is made of chrome moly (4130 IIRC) and in theory should be strong enough, but we know how that works out. The thing I didn't like about the one I had in my car was it had a bit of a spring action to it and I could feel the 3.0 bouncing, even though everything was bolted tight. There's fit issues with ancillaries too.
Firewall mount is the only way to go. It's very, very rare that anyone converts back to a four cylinder. I personally know no one who has. |

IIRC Patrick TIG welds those and then they are heat treated and powder coated

QUOTE(type47 @ Dec 18 2014, 09:22 AM) any info/comments on the gussets (position, shape, strength,... ) I'm dropping the 3.6 for a rebuild soon and will take pix and make measurements, unless I can find one in my archives somewhere. Have to be next week though... traveling I am. |
