First off, some info. 1970 914-6 Chassis. Acid dipped. Left outside last winter (not by me). Getting a 993 non-VarioRam 3.6, Wevo 915, GT Flares, all the fun bits.
And the first order of business is sorting out the chassis. Starting with the rear trunk. These are some freaky looking reinforcement plates poorly welded in. I'm guessing they were for a rear sway bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pinch.gif) Attached image(s) |

The 3.6 install in this car is actually a little unique. Since it's an original six it's not as easy as welding in an aftermarket six mount setup. Further complicating the install was the fact that this car is going to have air conditioning. So this required a custom mount to be fabricated. A stock six mount will bolt up, but would require a custom AC mounting setup. I decided to modify the stock 3.6 mount to be a hybrid 3.6/914-6 mount.
Here is an image of a stock six engine mount. Attached image(s) |
