motor mount problem

[seminole118]

Well I'm just about done with the whip and I need some fabrication help. Let me fill everyone in. I have a 92 Talon awd and took the six bolt out and put in a built 7 bolt. I know your all saying that was a crazy move. Anyway the front motor mount does not match up at all. The mount on the motor is about a foot to the right from the mount on the car. I could use some help here so I can take it in and get it tuned for the road. She is ready to pound on some hondas! Thank you all for your time.

Do you have an auto or manual trans? On a six bolt the mount brackets are on the block and on a seven bolt they are on the transmission. So you probably need the 7 bolt front mount bracket, for which ever trans you have. Hope this helps

7-bolt equipped 2G cars had the front roll stop mounted to the transmission casing, whereas 6-bolt equipped 1G cars had it bolted to the engine block.

Your best two options are as follows:

- Pick up some tubing and start fabricating a one-off custom front mount. I'd start by redoing the entire front crossmember and simply moving the roll stop portion over to the left.

- OR, have a solid piece of aluminum pressed into the rear roll stop, and completely eliminate the front one.

It's a manual trans and I think I will have to do a one off fab on this. I would like to know if anyone has done this already and if so do they have a photo record of the build. this would really cut down on my time. Otherwise i will have to flatbed it up to atlanta to get this done. Thanks for any and all the help.
