Hi Guys
I need to choose an engine mount for my conversion. Any pros and cons of which type to go for? I understand height on install is an issue to get a good air seal to avoid overheating issues Thanks |

One issue to consider is the brake pressure regulator. It's been mentioned that cars with the later setup likely have to relocate the regulator farther toward the driver's side so it has proper clearance with the /6 mount. Looks like in the PET the change was made in the '74 model year after VIN 4742915751. Do all styles of the /6 mounts have this issue? Pretty sure I've read posts where the OEM style mount has the problem. Just looking, I'd guess the Bulkhead mount would also, but can't be sure.

He has a 74 with the RJ 6 conversion mount welded in place. Yes, the pressure regulator needs to be relocated or swapped out for a T fitting. You also need new brake lines bent to fit properly. We went with the T fitting. The brakes he is using are PMB converted GT 6 calipers in the rear, and 911 Aluminum S calipers up front. If I where to do another 6 conv I would use the OEM style Maddog mount setup which is a copy of the factory 6 mount. Attached image(s) |
