I am in the process of removing the engine from my recently acquired 914-6 conversion to rebuild the motor. The engine mount is a bar of square tubing which fixes to the original 914 engine mounting points. From what I have read on the board a bulkhead mount is preferable and obviously this would be a good time to fit one.
However I dont really have the $400 to $450 to spring for one at this point in time. I am looking for opinions as to whether I should bite the bullet and fit one or whether I can live with the existing until a later stage. P.S the car I bought is not a driver so I have no idea as to how it shifts e.t.c Robert |

And whatever you do, don't look at anything Karl ahs done with his six (you'll know why when you see it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
