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 |

On another note... I had Dr. Evil build me a 914 trans for my SBC. Stock 2nd, O for 3rd, X for fourth and HA for 5th. This trans is awesome and feels stock, but much lower rpms in each gear. For 1/4 of the price of a 916 trans, it would be a nice option for a 3.6, but you only have 4 gears and I would not beat it. You will also need heavy duty CV's. Sir Andy has been running a 914 trans for years with no problems.
