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 |

This is amazing information. Here's a few things gleaned from reading around. Hopefully it's correct. Please correct if something is screwed up.
- The Rich Johnson mount is pretty much the same as the current Maddog's Bulkhead mount. - The Bulkhead mount looks to have a little tricky section for feeding the main wire loom up through it. Advantage here would go to using the OEM style mount. - Unless an engine produces significant torque, there's no real advantage of spreading the load side to side. More area (or maybe volume) of rubber on mounts may reduce NVH, but torsional twist shouldn't be an issue to worry about. So, there's no real need to use the Bulkhead style over an OEM unless you have a high torque engine. - Primary load on the front mounts is due to acceleration (upward force) and braking (downward). The location of the OEM mount is ideal relative to body structure for strength. - 911s mount style is necessary since the rear cross member isn't structurally strong enough to attach in the center. They need to attach on the outboard where the chassis is strong enough to handle vertical forces. Dan |
