I have been reading the archives learning about the EZ30 conversions and ran across and interest post mentioning the possible use of a bulkhead mount for the engine instead of a cradle. I know there are several vendors who make high quality mounts for the Porsche six conversions and wondered if anyone has explored building a bulkhead mount for a Sabaru conversion?

sounds like what I purchased

The fact that you are in TX is a good enough reason to run the EZ30. They are easy to cool and do well n the heat plus they come with a huge alternator and an AC compressor so it's a given that you add AC if you go this route. There are 4-5 of us here that have done the EZ30 conversion and can help with the questions.

Take a look at this thread.

Definitely a great way to mount it. Keeps the whole underside clear which makes routing exhaust, etc easier. Make sure to beef up the mounting points with more metal.

Thanks for these links. I don't know how I didn't find these while searching the archive. Each of these will help on the design for my project.

Does anyone that used a bulkhead mount have pictures of how they hung the transmission?
