Just thought I'd let you know I am still working on my car. I had a hard time getting someone to sell me a used motor mount. I hadn't expected that. The nissan mounts are gell filled and isolate the motor well so I wanted to use the OEM ones. Anyway I fnally managed to get 2 and modified the K-member and mounts to fit. I was quite happy to see the engine an the car becomming one. The NA rx-7 hood closes on the engine with no mods to the hood. The engine hangs maybe 1" lower than the rx-7 cross member height. Next step is to reinstall the steering rack which will take some more fabrication for mount brackets etc due to the fact the location has changed.I'm having a good time and Yes I know this is not the easy way to go. I was looking for a fun project and so far this has been quite interesting.Too bad winter is comming and my garage is not heated.
