3.6 993 engine installed into factory SIX, thoughts and guidance Options

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.

We have a Ruf 5 speed 930 but I doubt my buddy will let me convert it to run backwards
Peter Dawe worked his magic on my WEVO trans so that must be why it works so well.

The 930 gear boxes I have seen in a 914 required you to run it upside down, cut the trunk up and use a cable shifter. Plus the 930 trans is very costly. For me it was more trouble than it was worth.

That's the same reason I did not use a G-50. It required hacking up the trunk floor and running absurd axle angles.
