Has anyone ever drawn up plans or schematics for a 914-6 front engine mount?
The stock one I am refering to and not any of the aftermarket X-baror any other flavor. Thanks! |

If you want absoultely authetic, then you can get a mount out of a wrecked or scrapped six. They sometimes come up on e-bay or one of the bbs'.
But from experience, the bulkhead mount that is made by Rich Johnson is far superior to the stock 914/6 mount. It will handle a 3.6 with no problem, and it uses two 911 sport mounts, not the very expensive single bolt rubber block of the 914/6. And who can see the mount from the outside? Unless you look underneath, no one will know the difference. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Clay has a good point. They (Porsche) don't make the mounts anymore and no one is pursuing making them because anything over 200hp and they need to be beefed up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I agree too... That mount sells I think for about $550 on Pelican.
I just thought I would stand better odds of getting a schematic for a stock mount VS that mount. But if anyone has schematics for a firewall type mount I am open to entertain ideas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would like to build a bracket that is based on common and relatively inexpensive mounts is the ultimate goal. Thought I would start with anything I could get off the web and perhaps a rear engine mount from a 911 to get the block bracket half. Thanks! |
