Hi Guys
I need to choose an engine mount for my conversion. Any pros and cons of which type to go for? I understand height on install is an issue to get a good air seal to avoid overheating issues Thanks |

I always wondered why Porsche didn't add the proper mounts to use the 911 crossbar when installing the six in the 914 chassis?
That would put the mounts way farther outboard, and would make it much easier to install and remove the motor. Plus it would mean less parts count in inventory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Also Interesting why the heat exchangers were not mirrored |

Also Interesting why the heat exchangers were not mirrored If they used the stock 911 bar, would it interfere with the heat exchangers like the cross bar motor mount did. Also the pissing match on using the four cylinder mounts versus moving the drivetrain mount to the firewall. Does it change the center of gravity? |

Center of gravity doesn’t change just by moving a pivot point. |
