Another 6 conversion Options

[infraredcalvin]

Nice to see someone using black oil line fittings instead of that red and blue crap like on my -6!!!

Nice work! Great to see more and more shops putting effort into teeners.

Just to clarify it’s not my shop but I am doing the conversion. Www.914-6werkshop.com is my website. I am providing all the parts for this one and the know how. The shop is learning as I do it as they plan to offer the service

Mad dogs. I only suggest and sell the oem style mount. I don’t care for the bulk head mount with the 2 rubber mounts. They get in the way of everything. The OEM mount works for everything

Ben,
I would agree with you on the bulkhead mount, but only for the mag cased engine under 3.0L. Anything 3.0L or above needs the extra strength of the wider spaced mounts to handle the torque.

I worked on a factory six that had a 3.2 transplant. I had to replace the tail cone on the transmission because the ears were cracked and the rubber mount kept tearing. Needless to say, the owner didn't baby it when he drove it.

The Rich Johnson/Mad Dog mount, and the Naroescape mount are far better than the factory mount for really big engine 914-6 conversions.

I have a Rich Johnson mount in my big six, and it is a bitch to get the engine mount bolts into it. But it is far sturdier than the factory six mount.

Just my $.02

Clay,

That makes sense and I agree. The naroscape mount is a last ditch no other options mount. Totally unhappy with the one I put in another car. For a race car yes makes sense for anything else totally in the way of everything.

I have the Naro mount on my 3.2 conversion and I’m disappointed how the engine turns n lines up. My next conversion is getting the mad dog oem mount but it also will have a converted 915 trans. The Naro mount is a good idea but the spacing needs to be adjusted. When Bob Seville designed it for his race car, I’m not sure but I don’t think he ran engine tin.

Yes agreed

LOL I have extensive older red & blue AN plumbing on mine too -- Just learned of the black hardware options more recently and thought about converting it all over, but that would be a significant PITA and expense. Kinda an all-or-nothing proposition for it to look right I think.

Re engine mounts, I believe mine is a Vellios (sp?), the guy who made the 915 conversion bits. It was chosen by the car's original builder but I'm not sure why that one vs the Rich Johnson one which also was available at that time (engine tin came from him).
