I discovered a hicup in my block conversion. I am using a d16a6 block to replace a blown d16z6 block. Once bolting the motor mount brackets on I discovered a difference in the bosses on the blocks. Does anyone have a d16a6 front upper motor mount bracket, the part that bolts to the block?

Thank you much, Angus
 
Not sure either? I was told the block swap was more or less direct. What vehicle did they come from, maybe I can cross reference with the dealer.

Thanks
 
Just checked with the dealer. The z6 and a6 mount are different. They are shooting in the dark since I do not know the exact car my a6 came out of.
 
lemme go check in the garage, i got an old d15b that came outta a crx around that year and a d15b8 that i think came outta 94-95 civic.
 
Will those blocks be similar? Im no expert so I was surprised the difference in the d16a6 and d16z6. I know most people doing a mini-me start with the a6 and dont run into this like me.

Thanks

this is the d15b

they both look the same, but i dont know how they mount to the block b/c of the timing belt cover
 
Thats what I ran into. I did not notice a difference untill bolting it up. The z6 bracket wasn't even close to parallel to the deck surface. The rubber would be way off.
 
tonight ill crack open a beer and take off both covers for ya, then i will see if either one is diff. i gotta buddy who loves d-series and ill ask him.
 
OK, I'm not smart enough for pictures so discriptions will have to do. The mount bracket I need has the block mounting bolts that are inline verticaly with the block same as the cylinder bores. My z6 mount, which will not work, has the bolt holes at a slight angle. Apparently the z6 block uses a slightly bigger water pump so the bolt holes are tilt a few degrees. Keep in mind I am describing the holes that bolt to the block not the horizontal rubber mount surface. The result is a badly tilted z6 bracket on an a6 block. Clear as mud huh.

Thanks for the help, your brackets just might work.
 
sorry bro i cracked open one too many last night and woke up on the couch. i will try again, this time ill take off the covers then crack open a beer....:beer::drinks_drunk: :alcoholic:

I cant compare mounts, but the water pumps are the same. The z6 block is different in the water jacket area and I think thats why the motor mount bosses were drilled at an angle. I think you have what I need! What do you need for one, shipping to KC 66202? Thanks much!
