914-6 conversion shift rod guidance Options

[mb911]

There has been a ton of threads recently on engine mounts, headera and shift linkages. I wanted to put some information here that others could benefit from. Now keep in mind I have used several different mounts over the years including Rich Johnson style, Naro setup, and the OEM style. My favorite is the OEM style because its very easy position and has a nice rubber cushion so very little vibration. It also allows for very little interaction with anything else. As you can tell I don't have my heat exchangers on but you can see from the picture how clean the area is... The shift rod can be basically made straight. I have a nice little fixture for making these . I enjoy the KISS method on the shift linkage and it works really well. If you position your engine at the correct stock height then this is a bolt in proposition which I think most like.. Well anyway a picture is worth a thousand words. Let me know if I can help answer anyones questions

@superhawk996 @tdskip and please share with anyone else at this stage.

That's actually not out of line for these cars. I think dropping the motor and tackling all of that on a stand is much easier than trying to do it in the car for sure. Great opportunity to do a detailed clean-up and tackle any annoying little leaks, etc.
