JT's 1987 Shelby Z
2.4L/A555 Mounts!
|
Passenger
Side Mount
|
The
engine came with a passenger side mount from Ohio Rob Pachner which
was modeled after the one he used to mount the 2.4L in his '83 Charger.
As you see in the pics below it fit quite well in the G-body, however
was a little short for the wider engine compartment. |
 |
|
...and
after rotating the motor forward the mount did not exactly line up |
 |
Billet aluminum mount to the rescue! |
 |
 |
 |
Front Mount |
The
solid front mount that was in the Z bolted to the 2.2L was not going
to be able to connect to the 2.4L |
 |
A 2.0L/2.4L mount out of a Neon would bolt to the 2.4L but need some help to get to the core support. |
 |
| After
some minor band-sawing and tack welding, the two mounts became one.
Then came the gussets to strengthen it. Not the prettiest but it will
get the car running and get re-made when I have time... after it is
running. |

| Trans Mount |
|
The
trans mount had to be modifed to rotate the motor. This was done before
the custom passenger side mount was made. |
