6-bolt swap, drivers side motor mount

[1gentalonfan]

ok im about to buy a 2g with a 6-bolt motor and rebuilt 2g tranny and he has the stock 2g motor mount which only lines up on one hole. can i just use the stock 1g mount or do i need a special one for the swap, also can i still use the upper timing cover because he said it hits on the hood but maybe thats becasue of the motor mount? or because its a fiberglass hood without the little hump? sorry if this was in a previous thread i never found anything

Did he actually install the mount correctly on the engine itself? Did he grind what he needed to and install the correct parts?

im not sure what you mean by lower section its the mount on the t-belt side and on my nt 1g it has a metal arm that wraps around to the front of the motor but this 2g mount just has 3 holes right on the side

thanks for the effort but none of that really helped, as far as i know none of that is the same at all, it still has 1g everything except the altenator, and that one motor mount that doesnt line up, and it has a 2g mas. and throttle body at the moment. it also doesnt have the crank angle sensor it has a cam angle

It sounds like he just used a 1g mount instead of properly modifying the 2g mount to fit.

To do it properly, you take a 2g mount and cut a piece out, because the 2g mount does not clear the 1g water pump. You're gonna have to jack up the engine, remove the driver mount, take off the timing cover, grind the timing cover to fit the 2g mount, and then install the modified mount.

Get acrobat reader and look at that PDF, it explains everything.
