Does anyone recognize this engine mount? I have a horrible CLUNK if I accelerate hard in first & second, and let off. I have replaced Turbo CV joints, and Elephant racing rear trailing arm bushings, and its still there. This is the only thing I can think of. Any leads where I can find rubber mounts??

It's called a quick six bar. I actually felt the same thing when I had mine. I went to the bulkhead mount and never felt or heard any clunk after.
Please post more pictures of your car. I have looked all over to find more but have only found a few. Your car looks cool biggrin.gif

Replace the rubber mounts with the 2.0 mounts, yes it will be solid mounted but I doubt if you will notice, your car is pretty track like. I saw it at Ralph's.

I seem to remember that 911 engine mounts will fit, and be more appropriate for the weight of the 911 engine. Might get rid of the clunk, which I assume is the engine torque twisting the front mount against its rubber bumpers.

I replaced my quick-six bar with a Rich Johnson mount, and it is nicer. Also, if you want to install heat exchangers, the Johnson mount will allow this.

What all have you done to it?

Check out this old thread on how one of those mounts broke.

So what is the preferred, best recommended motor mounts for a 6 conversion?
McMark
Rich Johnson mount, but really, anything that welds to the firewall, like the original setup does.

Retro's bar doesn't look like a Patrick bar, as his is square vs round for the Patrick.

as far as what you should use - definately the Rich Johnson mount. Rich is a great guy and has been supporting the 914 community for years.

I agree. The RJ mount is the way to go.
If you're over in the Vancouver area you can stop by and see my set-up.

Damn man...aside from my car (which I like the most ) yours is a close second!

BTW I would try the 911 solid mount first though as I am sure you have beat on that bar pretty good and it hasnt broken yet. BUT then again there is nothing like the look of a CLEAN underbody w/o that crossbar! To do it right you should also get rid of the type 4 mount brackets (PITA!!! )
