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 |

WOW you guys are so quick to shed light on the task at hand. Clay - SirAndy, mepstain, Sixaddict, targa72e - thank you. Clay I am starting to realize either a 3.2 or a short stroke 3.2 is the best way to go. It seems you can not count on the strength of the front engine mount point on the six being strong enough. YES I am planning on a 915 transmission as that has been my dream for years. Jim

I wish someone made a mid engine version of the G-50 or a Boxter/Cayman transmission with a bell housing for an air cooled motor. Glad I could help. Clay |

Clay You haven’t tried one that was properly built.
