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 |

You haven’t tried one that was properly built. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Eric has the same trans in his big kahuna PMS built 3.6 as what I’m selling and here’s what he says: I still stand by my statement, my 915 is a WEVO conversion that was done by Patrick Motorsports and it feels very much like a modern trans, easy gear selection, minimal throw effort, great in all respects. Actually surprised to hear that they're difficult or clunky, in my limited frame of reference that's not been my experience at all. Sadly, WEVO is no longer out there so the Martin Bott conversion might be the only option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
