I keep staring at my extra crossbar, and then the drill press. Has anyone tortured one of these to see how much metal can be removed and still hold the engine up?
Looking at the lite -6 mounting systems it seems to be a natural way to drop a few #'s.

I think I saw one like this at RacerChris' shop.

Yes you did. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I don't have a good picture of it or I would post one. It came to me on an engine I bought. A waste of time in my opinion. The weight is exactly where you would want it - directly below the center of gravity. Besides, you can't take off enough weight to save a meaningful amount just by drilling holes in the stock engine bar.
