Hello 914 World, im building a suby swap and i have small car engine mounts. i was thinking about modifying the stock engine bar to except the small car mounts but is it strong enough? Also as a side question would it make an intense axle angle with a suby 5 speed?

No problem George... I am using Bob's mount which is an early bar that bolts directly to the EG33 with no Subaru engine mounts. It's very simple. I think there is a pic of it in my build thread. There are a couple of very sturdy pieces of iron bolted to the engine bar which are L shaped and then bolt where the engine mounts would normally bolt to. I'll be taking the engine out soon if you want me to measure it. You could definitely make a similar one for your engine, just be slightly different hole placement due to the trans being a little farther forward.
