Nope. Not yet. I haven't had time. The car has been sitting in my garage for almost a month now.

Great write up mike! Would you say that there is a significant increase in power over the Type II? I am about to swap the Type I for the Type II but have been debating whether or not I should go with the 3.5L. If there is a world of difference than I may try to go with the 3.5L.
Thanks

I would definitely call the power increase significant. Go 3.5 and never look back.

Anybody can get this done. The mount was one of the easiest things to have done.

To DIY, I spent about $1085 just on the engine conversion. That's not including installing a new clutch, slave cylinder, 2 front engine mounts, radiator, and heater hoses.
I spent $300 on the block with mounts $300 on the heads and exhaust manifolds $75 on the intake manifold $250 on the timing belt, water pump, balance shaft belt, and tb tensioner $160 on intake manifold gaskets, head gaskets, Intake plenum gaskets, and exhaust manifold gaskets. That comes out to $1085, but I'm sure there's a bit more in fluids and other small things.

I'm saying, taking the mounts to a welder and giving him a few of the pictures in this thread and telling him to cut and weld them together. I used Christian's picture and handed it to my welder and he got it done.

Maybe Kyles pulley connection can whip a mount up if one is sent off in that direction. I vote Kens mount mines a lot more modified since its inception. Mike, careful with the angle of the mounts leg. If it doesnt sit flat on the mount or if its pulling the rubber mount more to one side, the top of the rubber mount will rip off after some time. You'll know when you see the oil thats in the mount on the floor. Mine was not perfect and ripped two rubber mounts. Those are not easy to find in good condition and new ones are 150 each. It looks like there is some strain on the rubber going south-east direction of the picture. the Leg doesnt seem flat against the mounts top metal surface. ![]() This is my newest rock solid revision. ![]() ~Dv8
