While reading through Georges' six conversion booklet, he recommends using two 914-6 transmission mounts to use as engine mounts because they're heavier. I have a quick six bar and am going to use the original engine mounting locations on my four. Would a heavier duty 911 sport engine mount function just as well? They're also not as expensive as the 914-6 transmission mounts. Thanks for your help.

I would suggest using the Rich Johnson engine mount..... aktion035.gif

Yes, they will work fine. Use them in the rear also for the trans mounts.

The quick /6 mount sucks, the Rich Johnson engine mount is way better, but the PMS mount is supposed to be the best.

the 911 sport mounts are now the way to go and the bulkhead mount Rich makes is great. The quick six as I say is not the way to go but is very easy to install.

My intention is to put the Rich Johnson mount on the car. But, that's a next year project when my welding skills improve. Thanks for the information.

Can anyone post pictures of what you are talking about. I somehow bet I have the one you are not recommending. I swear I can feel the drivetrain move forwards and back sometimes.

If you didn't weld and it uses the stock four cylinder mounts, it's a quick six bar. If you welded it to the firewall, it's a good mount, regardless of who made it.
