The main reason why I went with a REW swap was because of what you are stating. I originally had ordered a fc3s remanufactured engine from Mazda. After a month or two of getting the same "we dont have the parts in order to build you one" response, I opted for a "used" remanufactured rew engine.

At the time, other than the used rew engine that I purchased, I could either get a brand spanking new REW engine from or a remanufacutred one from Mazda. Waiting time was less than 2-3 weeks.

 

Hey guys! Let me be the first to say it's an honor this thread back to life. But I was curious if anyone had any updated contact info for JR Fabrications. Or would someone be willing to send me pictures with measurements so I can have the engine mount made. Anyone willing to sell theirs?

 

When I was in the process, I contacted them. Back then, they were asking somewhere around $750 for their mount. I went another route, doubt they sold more than 5 units...

 

May I ask what you did?

 

Mazda

 

Oh neat! Thank you! Do you how much hp these could handle?

 

Would you happen to have some photos of your motor in place? And the bottom too

 

no idea. i'm sure they are fine for stock plus ~280rwhp. if i was doing some big hp car, i would like a little strap that goes up and bolts on the center iron

 

i will dig! the top, it just looks normal. FD engine is in the same place as the FC engine was.

 

Where would you bolt onto the center iron? And Are you talking about a welded strap? I'm gunna have a little more then 280 so any extra reinforcement I can do the better! TIA

 

i'm thinking one of these would be good

 

Hmm well that "looks" easy enough lol will just need to weld some brackets onto the frame. With that conversion engine mount, do you need bushing? (My motor was directly bolted no bushings when I got it) or just bolt her solid?

 

they are setup so you can put a 13B-REW in an FC chassis with the FC engine mounts, and it will put the engine in the same spot as the old one was

 

well I ask because I'm putting this into a mgb (had a 2nd Gen center mounted) and just curious if I need bushings when I go and make these custom brackets to replace the **** ones I had.

 

So far 400RWHP no issues, about 10 years on them.

 

awesome! We'll I'm gunna have 500 lol and at times 700. If it breaks I will be sure to let you guys know!!!
