there was one up for sale here a few months back. It went quickly. Haven't seen one for a long time before that or any since. They're out there, just not many for sale. All you need to do is space back a stock b3 mount iirc. So easy a caveman could do it.lol

[J-Lube]

How do you space it back?

I'm a B6T/E-series member. Here are some photos of the mount and setup I had welded/fabricated by Sasquatch.

Here's a nice one too.

You can use the stock B3 passenger side motor mount on a B6T, that's what I'm currently using. Take off the whole B6T mount and just bolt the B3 mount into the 3 holes on the back of the B6t block. You'll need 3 spacers about 1 1/4"?, I got some thick brass spacers from the plumbing section, but washers would work. You'll need longer bolts, also. The engine sits a few degrees crooked, but it's totally viable. I'll take pictures if you want.

I'll bet you could do a little work on those brass spacers to take the crookedness out of it; i.e., a diagonal cut to offset the crookedness of the unmodified spacers.

VANHICK, could you please take some pictures of your mount set up for me?

Thanks!! And is the piece in picture 2 part of the stock b3 mount?

[Chobobulous]

Thanks!! And is the piece in picture 2 part of the stock b3 mount?

it looks to be the mount as the firewall would see it.

[vanhick]

Ya I'm pretty sure it's all the stock b3 mount, and Chobob is correct, its looking at it from the firewall.

[TorqueEffect]

Would this apply to the B6D as well? Just curious.

[eurotiva]

Yep, and a bp, I've been doing the spacer thing for years

[J-Lube]

Thanks for the help guys. Im trying to do as much research as possible before starting a build.

Just use as many b3 pieces as you can. Thermostat housing, alt bracket, water tubes, etc
