Is a 2nd gen engine mound required if swapping a '91 in a 1st gen? Or can I use my 1st gen mound?

If you want to retain the stock ECU,then the S5 engine (89-91) will require some custom front cover work.Do a search for S5 swap,its been covered many times.

I see you plan on a carb,so you can run a GSL-SE front cover and a 4 hose OMP off an SE or 86-88 engine to handle the oil injection.
Or you can run a 12A front cover and just utilize the 2 hose OMP and the ol injectors on the 13B's rotor housings.
Or just run whatever 1st gen front cover you want,block off the OMP pad and premix.

No matter what,youll have to run some kind of 1st gen front cover and a GSL-SE oilpan,to get the engine mounted.
The only alternative is to do a full FC front crossmember swap so you can retain the FC front cover and side mounts.Its a very cool mod,but probably more work than the actual engine swap,since few have done it succesfully and completely....
