Trying to find a source for a new engine support bar and I'm not doing well. Also when you up your HP is the stock one strong enough ? Is there a source for a stronger one if required? Thanks.

Late cars are cast iron.

They're forged steel! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
Big difference from cast iron, which would be a bad choice for an application like the 914 engine mounting bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I stand corrected... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

OK than, they are heavy as cast iron! You're right, cast iron would not be the right/best material.
