E153 into a GT 6gc Options

[Punisher]

Ok, this is pissing me off.. I can't find any SOLID one place to look data on putting the e153 into a 6gc gt..

I mean.. no one has a write up (preferably with pics) on this swap?

That is a GT rear bracket with an ST185 rear mount (insulator).

I had to move over from the hole in the bracket and then make a slotted hole.

Then cut a portion of the other bolt ear off of the bracket and weld that plate on which still needs to be trimmed slightly and then drilled.

The mount works beautifully.

I am filling all of my mounts with urethane so there shouldn't be much engine flex to begin with.. so that should work pretty well.

I should add that even the rear GT insulator could be used with this setup.. however, I don't care for the studs in the mount.. makes it a PITA for removing/installing... I may still go with the GT mount though simply because it bolts right in easier.. with the ST185 mount you need to put a spacer in the front because the way they cross member slopes upward.

I may just end up chopping the studs out of the mount and welding nuts on instead.
