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 |

There are lot of positive design elements built into the OEM braket and isolator that I don't see in the other aftermarket solutions. I don't think you'll regret using this design unless you're using very high HP outside of what the factory GT ran. Big thanks to Maddog for making these as well as the mounting hardware kit.
