914-6 stock engine mount prices Options

[IronHillRestorations]

I have a Johnson in kit form, if you can weld. Pm me if interested

[930cabman]

A Mad Dog OEM style will be on order tomorrow, I already have their chassis reinforcing kit and longitudinal stiffening kit are on the way.

Thanks to all.

OP: from what Mad Dog says, their mount is an OEM replica

Here's the background for the mount.

We are gathering parts and pieces for a /6 conversion, looking at this one:

https://naroescapemotorsports.com/product/9...n-engine-mount/

looks simple, price decent

Do know that if you use that mount it causes the engine to sit lower i. The chassis by 3/4" and the engine tin does not seal and you will have to do custom shift linkage.. it also pulls the engine forward in the chassis which strains on the trans ears and mounts.

Thank you for the heads up Ben. For sure I want the engine tin to seal. Is the Mad Dog a good option? I have tried the search and have not been very successful. Our 914/6 conversion will be a street cruiser only, will never see a track

I would definitely go with this style mount if doing another conversion project.
It is most factory like.
The other ones can get in the way of your wiring harness and just take up too much real estate in that area.
The factory knew what they were doing when designing/building these.

Instead of a 911 engine mount, I'd hunt down the following.
They can be found for reasonable prices.

You need both the rubber mount:



And the metal bracket that holds the rubber mount:



Plus the big long bolt that goes through both of these.



When I did my conversion, these were tough to find.
Not anymore I believe.

Good luck!

Who carries the metal top and bottom plates? Thanks

[raynekat]

I'm biased but here's the setup you want for a 914-6 engine mount.
Factory like.

Mine freshly welded in place:



After paint:



These are all the parts you'll need to round up:



Bolted together as a unit:



Ready to accept the engine.
You'll see the wiring harness easily goes by this engine mount.
The factory mount was very compact.
Some of the aftermarket mounts take up a lot of real estate in the engine compartment.
Others I've seen put a big kink in the snorkel.

[raynekat]

Not sure who carries the upper and lower plates that sandwich the rubber factory style mount.
I know they are out there.
Will have to Google and search a bit I think.

When I did my conversion, someone was making these on 914World.
A small run of them.
My timing was good.

Perhaps a good thing for 914Rubber to make?
I know I purchased one of the plates from Europe and it was handmade trash.
Ditched it.
Then someone here made one of the plates which was very nice and I somehow found the other plate.
Also at this time the rubber mount was being manufactured by URO.

Thanks for the input all, it looks as though the factory style is the winner and yes, those engineers knew (know) their stuff. Mad Dog recommends using the Wevo mount for a complete installation.

btw, nice looking install ray. Is the engine ready to for installation?

Perfect illustration of my point and well executed.
If you have the skill to weld an aftermarket mount in or have someone who can
do it for you, a copy of the original is the best choice. The fabrication is not rocket science.
Make sure to get the right BOLT it's a high strength 10.9
This discussion makes me want to go out and whittle up some copies.
Nice color choice too!

FWIW - Wevo mount doesn't offer much isolation.

This will be a street machine only. I had some concern with vibration/sound transmission.
Hopefully a compromise is available. Conversions always have tricky details, this forum rocks for information.

With the WEVO mount on mine there is no vibration.. it works perfect and I built a soft suspension car so I am wanting cushy everything.

Mittlemotor in Germany makes the weld in carrier for the stock 914-6 engine mount set-up and the upper and lower plates needed as well. I used their pieces on a recent 914-6 conversion and they are very close to factory and very nicely made.

Mittelmotor shows the parts but can't seam to find a part # or price for them.
I could use a upper, lower motor mount bracket and the long mounting bolt (7, 8 & 9).

Sold, I will be running with this combination.

Thanks, Ben. What is a good source for an oil filler tube for your oil tank?
