I have been reading the archives learning about the EZ30 conversions and ran across and interest post mentioning the possible use of a bulkhead mount for the engine instead of a cradle. I know there are several vendors who make high quality mounts for the Porsche six conversions and wondered if anyone has explored building a bulkhead mount for a Sabaru conversion?

The fact that you are in TX is a good enough reason to run the EZ30. They are easy to cool and do well n the heat plus they come with a huge alternator and an AC compressor so it's a given that you add AC if you go this route. There are 4-5 of us here that have done the EZ30 conversion and can help with the questions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Take a look at this thread.
Turbo Subaru Build Definitely a great way to mount it. Keeps the whole underside clear which makes routing exhaust, etc easier. Make sure to beef up the mounting points with more metal. |

Thanks for these links. I don't know how I didn't find these while searching the archive. Each of these will help on the design for my project.

Does anyone that used a bulkhead mount have pictures of how they hung the transmission?
