Making the conversion to a 6 cyl, we have several choices to make with mounts, exhaust, fuel, oil tank, engine tin, ....
I recently purchased the OEM mount from Mad Dog, you couldn't ask for a better fit. It nestled into the recess and allowed basically no room for error. I socked it in with a couple self tapping screws and went ahead with the plug and fillet welds. I removed the paint from the mounting surfaces with paint stripper and cleaned it up with a sanding disc prior to welding From what I understand the factory placed additional reinforcement in this area. Running the welds for this mount I sensed it the way my MIG was acting. I bet you could pick the entire car up from this mount. Very well done Mad Dog |

Hawk, guess I should have tried a test fit prior to welding the chassis portion.
Thanks, I am just about done with the structural work with our project, but still have quite a few different fish we are frying. Floor is coming up, still need to practice overhead plug welding. Great board with a great bunch of guys/gals |

Probably goes without saying . . . be sure to position your body so that it is not directly under the puddle. Wear a leather welding jacket. Be safe! |
