okay got the engine bar for the suby almost done, it measures 1 inch square wall thickness .083. with 16 gauge gussets. right now i can lean on the ends and it flexes about 1/2 inch ( 190 lbs ) i will be welding a 90 degree angle on two side after i fit it to the car and engine.
not bad for gas welding Attached image(s)

Looks good. Can't wait to see it in the car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Yay, gas welding. MIG has its place, but I prefer gas for most everything. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Nice work Scott. Once you get your engine mount setup perfected let us know if you want to make a few more of them! |

well just stuck the engine bar under car looks like its perfect, you can see where the motor mounts are ( circled in white ) i just need to shorten the tops, right know they are about 8 to 10 inches too long.
tonight i will build the part that bolts to the motor mounts on the engine a couple of pics Attached image(s)

now for a close pic of motor mount to bar, remember it needes to come up a few inches, also notice how most if it tucks behind the head. it will not be in the way of exhaust or shifter, as well as it clears the trailing arm
