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 |

The V8 is triangulated in the mount. The V8 wants to lift up and out of the car when on the gas much more so than a flat 6. I HATE the Renegade cross mount, but it does work and I havent seen one fail... but they do flex big time. I duped it out of chrome moly ages ago and did a guesseted triangualtion to the block. I also got rid of the cheezy 1 inch wide steel pieces that go across our outboard engine mounts and hold the cross bar. I went to a delrin round block. Works slick and you jack the car up from the cross bar with NO FEAR. It wouldnt bend.
