#114409 hey guy
i did a swap into my eg not too long ago
i swapped a d16z6 into my 94 cx

im having a issue with my final motor mount
its the drivers side upper mount. the one you can see from the top

the studs on the engine are a bit smaller then the holes on the frame
i was wondering if any one else had this issue?
if not any recommendations on hat i should do?
i could probably hone the holes out a bit to make it fit..
will that weaken the mount?
any advise would be helpful

#114427 I'm trying to picture it, but I'm not sure what you're saying...

the studs on the engine are a bit smaller then the holes on the frame



you mean the holes on the mount are too small for the studs to go through? by how much?

#114441 ok well i got a few more question... not concerning the mount

first off... teal, how do you like that edelbrock x intake manifold? i thought i saw somewhere that you had one?

andddddd

does anyone have any recommendations for headers?
will i run into issues with the z6 in my cx?

#114451 as for the header ? i baught a DNX header from summitracing.com . i have no clue as for the hp/tq gains but it made a nice sound diff. and had not lost its shine after about a year of daily driving . kinda impressed me

#114499 yeah I thought you had the mount for a Z6, if not, I'd get one, although I thought they were the same...
I used my d15b7 driver side mount when I swapped a d16z6.
I have the spare mount from the z6 if you need one.
I just have the d16y8 IM, not edlebrock.

#114637 gotcha
my bad dude
ill probably hit up the boneyard to find a mount
idk why they are different
probably cuz the d15b8 was such a oddball engine
