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 know I am in the minority here, but I am like SirAndy, happily, successfully running a good 901 behind a 3.6. Like him, I am not rough on 1st gear, but otherwise I drive the piss out of it, for 8 year so far. With good bushings and a RennShifter, it shifts like a bolt-action rifle. And, you can build a lot of 901 boxes for $15k (and less weight)…just another perspective. I do wish for a 6th gear for interstates and have thought about Clay’s Cayman transaxle approach.
