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 |

the PMS tilting mount has the advantage of easier motor install/removal, and also tipping for service work. may not be as important for a street car. but very helpful on a race car.

Is this bolt or weld on? I went with Rich Johnson because it was both (weld and bolt) I thought was was a nice way to go. Just have to remove the rear brake lock up device. |

Mines welded I assume they all are? |

I personally liked this as an extra safety measure. |
