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 |

I'm running the Martin Bott kit 916 with a rennshift on my 3.2. I agree, the shifting is more balkier than a 901/914 trans, but its no big deal, just takes a little more muscle to get it into gear, but you quickly get used to it. For me it was worth every penny. I see people are working on a kit for a boxster/cayman trans. That would be the way to go if they can mass produce it.
Otherwise, I also bought a 1995 3.6 motor and plan on using the 915 with it. I will start the install after Rennsport. |
