what are the option for 20B cradle or mounts for FD?

 

really? noone sells a engine mount kit or something like that?

 

Defined Autoworks makes it. Check it out on their website. Logan is a regular contributor here as well.

 

Just buy a 20B subframe and drop the engine in. Do a little searching, there are several vendors and they are all listed in this subforum.

 

20B subframe or the defined auto works kit are your only off the shelf options. the defined autoworks kit being the better choice IMHO as it retains the factory subframe, and doesn't move the steering rack.

 

Thank you for the great information. will the defined work with a RHD car?

 

I'll be using a dry sump front cover for my engine & run a 1/2" or 5/8" thick plate across the bottom of the engine.

If you extend the plate a bit in the rest, you can drill/ tap the plate and place studs in it (allowing you to retain your OEM motor mount location (some slight modifications will be made, but I'm okay with that.

It's a couple hundred dollars more than the option (which is the nicest non dry sump option, in my personal opinion) but you get to drysump your engine while you're at it.

Dry sump front covers can be had for around 2,500.00 USD (New)

Do you mean the stock 20b subframe from the cosmo?

 

No idea, you could email them. They used to be a vendor on here but I'm sure a quick google search will bring them up. The only potential issue would be the added length of the motor, and if that impacts the steering collumn or not.

Am I insane for wishing the dry sump front cover still allowed you to use power steering and a/c?

Many companies sell a custom subframe that allows you to drop the 20B into a FD. The drawback is always the steering rack gets relocated. An actual cosmo subframe wouldn't work.

 

LOL I was just going to ask if the cosmo subframe would fit. LOL I got 2 of them.
