Interesting - I just welding the Naro mount in 3/4 inch higher than directions but did NOT have to adjust the transmission mounts at all. It located the rear mount perfectly - like totally bang on perfect. I am running a 3.2 but don’t think that makes any real difference.
Maybe the slant of the firewall is enough to better locate it once it is mounted higher? |

I did screw up in that I left the line to it under the mount rather than on top but that is fixable. I was under the gun to get the drivetrain in so I could move the car so I punted on that for today. |

@RichPugh How did you make out with that engine mount?

QUOTE(JOEPROPER @ Nov 6 2020, 11:55 AM) I was able to ignore it while procrastinating and doing nothing. Well, doing other stuff, completely unrelated to the 914, as per the 914 project handbook, "Step 4: Stop working on 914 and do other stuff". LOL I'm planning to finish the stuff in the front this week or next... I.e., putting the fresh air blower box and fan back in, wiring and plumbing the fuel pump, dropping the tank back in... THEN I can roll it off the lift, spin the lift around, put it BACK up in the air with the lift positioned where I can remove the engine... and THEN I'll stare at the mount until I repeat step 4 again. The goal is to weld a new plate to the face of the engine side of the mount with the holes positioned up 3/4"-1" upwards... that should do it. -Rich |
