Guys I am collecting parts for my restoration. My car came without a drivetrain so I am looking at a collection of parts and what makes the most sense. I have 90% of a 95 993 engine that I have been collecting - one side of me says high compression dual plug, hydraulic lifters, torque and turn the key it starts right up without any drama. Or a short stroke - and you know where this goes - dual plug, special distributor, P/C's (not cheap) Carbs probably new PMO 46 (also quite a bill) and then the exhaust system with heat.
Does the factory front motor mount work on a 993 engine? I know the tin has to be married from 914-6 and 993 engine tin. jdorociak@gmail.com Jim |

Engine choice and mounting is one thing. I think there are plenty of mounting options that would work fine with higher HP engine. Bigger question is do you have the appropriate transmission to back up your engine choice. The minimum I would think as appropriate for 3.6 engine would be a 915 transmission. Cost to fit to a 914 is fairly larger. All my current Porsche projects are transmission limited. The cost to go to the next level upgrade is quite large in all my cases.
