I am in the process of doing a 914-6 conversion. I will be using a bulkhead style mount. Do most people leave the original 4 cyl engine mounts or cut them out?
thanks, john |

I took mine out, but the passenger side had rust underneath it. I ended up removing the metal that covered the inner frame. This weakend that side and then it started to crack. If you do remove them make sure the metal is good underneath. Otherwise you will need to make a scab plate to replace the rusted area. Also make sure you have no plans to ever convert it back or change your mind and want a v8 or subi, since both of those use the stock mounts.
