I bought a 6 motor that used the 4 mounting bar to install the 6 into the 4 chassis!
For the quick install and drive on my 6 I am thinking of mounting it using this system untill I can find what I need to do it right! Does anyone have any experience with doing it this way? Attached thumbnail(s)

The so called "quick six" mounting kit used the original 914 -4 mounting pods and was a quick down and dirty solution but not recommended. Besides lowering the ground clearance and making it impossible to drop the shift rod without disconnecting the mount, the pods interfered with six valve adjustment and valve cover removal and worst of all moved the center of balance backwards making the car more tail happy.
Easy solutions are the single or dual bulkhead mount similar to the way the factory originally mounted the engine. Although it has to be welded in it is not hard to do.
