The North Westy Stainless Steel Engine Mount is the ultimate foundation for your Subaru EJ-series Vanagon conversion — a precision-engineered masterpiece proudly crafted in the Pacific Northwest. Designed for strength, reliability, and longevity, this mount isn’t just an upgrade — it’s the last one you’ll ever need.
Born from decades of Vanagon experience and a relentless pursuit of perfection, it’s the benchmark for performance and durability in modern Subaru conversions.
Engineered and fabricated by North Westy, this mount reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship and design that’s built for real-world adventure. From coastal salt air to high-alpine snow, stainless steel stands strong where other metals fail.
Each mount is:
Laser-cut for absolute precision — no guesswork, no modification.
CNC-formed for perfect geometry and flawless fitment.
TIG-welded by skilled fabricators for superior strength and clean, uniform seams.
This isn’t just a bracket — it’s a purpose-built component engineered to handle the torque, vibration, and stress of modern Subaru power in a classic Vanagon chassis.
Perfectly tailored to fit the EJ-series Subaru 4-cylinder engines, this mount ensures a seamless integration into your Vanagon’s engine bay. Installation is straightforward, alignment is spot-on, and the result is a rock-solid platform that eliminates flex and drivetrain movement under load.
Pair it with the North Westy Heavy-Duty 6-Quart Cast Aluminum Oil Pan — this mount is required when using the upgraded oil pan system for Subaru conversions.
Built for the Pacific Northwest, this mount laughs in the face of rust. Stainless steel shrugs off moisture, road salt, and years of abuse — no coatings, no flaking paint, no worries.
Stainless steel endures higher stress and torsional loads than mild steel or aluminum, maintaining its structural integrity even under extreme off-road torque or continuous highway vibration.
Aluminum might save ounces, but it sacrifices toughness. Stainless steel maintains strength and alignment over time — it won’t fatigue, warp, or crack, no matter how many miles you put behind it.
Forget about touch-ups, coatings, or corrosion checks. This is a fit-and-forget solution designed to perform for decades.
The North Westy Stainless Steel Engine Mount isn’t mass-produced — it’s crafted, piece by piece, with the same care we put into every Vanagon we touch. Every bend, weld, and bolt pattern is the result of hands-on experience and thousands of successful Subaru conversions.
Whether you’re building a daily driver, an overland rig, or a weekend warrior, this mount provides the foundation of reliability your setup deserves.
Because when you trust your van to take you anywhere, you shouldn’t have to worry about what’s holding the engine in place.
