Spohn 3.8 V-6 K frame motor mount holes compatible with 2.8 v-6?
Hello All
I have a 87 RS Camaro 2.8 V-6 and want to put a Spohn K Frame under the car.
Spohn list a 3.8 V-6 compatability for motor mounting.
Is the 2.8 motor mounts the same location as the 3.8?
I don't get very far with Spohn folks on the phone.
I'm going through the entire under carriage of the car starting in the front... Coilovers, A-arms, etc. then heading towards the rear of the car.
I have a fab guy that can make me an adapter plate if it's not a mess.
Any help here is really appreciated!
Dennis

AFAIk, the 3.8 uses a different pattern from the SBC or the 60 degree v6 these cars typically have. you will need to make an adapter of sorts.

You can use the one with the SBC pads, some very simple brackets is all you need to adapt to the V6 mounts.
I have the SBC one but i made solid mounts to go to my FWD 3.5 block.
