I need to know what the correct height of a 914-6 motor is at the front of the motor as shown in the picture. I think my motor is too high at the front.

Well my car is a conversion, so my answer is not what you are looking for, but it interested me after seeing your post so I measured it.
I have a modified custom mount and we actually played with it in a couple of variations. First I was concerned about shift rod clearance. Secondly I was concerned with sheet metal fitment. We finally settled on matching the sheet metal to the engine bay gasketing and shelf, which gave me plenty of clearance on the shift rod. After all was said and done, measuring like you did in your photo, we are basically dead on together... My measurement matches yours as shown. FWIW... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks for reply John I will check mine when the rain stops and hopefully help the OP also,think my height is correct but PO has cocked up my engine carrier mount and the engine is too far rearwards.  Measurements @ the gearbox mounts shows around 15mm out ,ticks me off as he said the mount was a exact copy of an original -6 mount he had the use of for a pattern. |
