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 |

First, David, thanks for starting this thread and asking the question. Forgive me if I'm jumping in a little too anxiously, but this is the exact question I'm trying to answer also. Trying to get all the ducks in a row for what's needed and the engine mount is one of the very important details.
I just went through this with my brothers 914. 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. That looks very nice. Better to say amazingly beautiful! Truly inspirational work. Thanks for verifying with your experience and recommendations. If using the maddog mount, do people recommend the wevo or uro option? Yes, perfect next question. You read my mind. Dan |
