I am getting to install the engine into my 914-6 and could use some help in figuring out how the front mount pieces all go together. Here are photos of what I have -- Do I have all the right bits and how does it all go together? Thanks in advance for any help.

Plate goes on top, then bolts up to the engine mount

Th part in the picture with the bolt is not right.
I'll attach pictures of the right nut plate.

Much appreciated, but now I'm even more confused. Is what I have mounted to the car correct? Which piece(s) am I missing. Regarding the plate that's wrong, what does it belong to?

Thanks again!!!

The 2nd picture that rgally posted is the correct orientation of the parts. ..but its upside-down. Bolt goes in from the bottom up through the engine mount up to the plate on top.

These are stock parts in the pic as far as I now?,something is odd about pic 3,that plate looks wrong ? but without seeing the underside a guess it will work .
My top and bottom plates aren't the same as one is stock and the other is a fabricated copy....fits good however.

Also make sure that you install the proper bolt through the front mount.
It's longer then the trans bolts.

The part in the picture with the bolt goes above the transmission mounts on all cars and above the front cross bar mounts on 4 cyl. cars.

Thanks all -- it's been a while. Apparently I had put a transmission mount in the bag with the engine mounts. Looks like I have it figured out (see photos). I took the body mount off the car and it became clear. I'll put it back on when I install the engine. PO had used epoxy to hold the top plate in place -- I've decided to use some safety wire. Thanks again.

Since it's been a while.....
Mount the part that has the rubber in it to the chassis first.... on top of the chassis
support.
Then lift the engine part to the mount in the chassis.
Use a long drift pin to help align.
Also,engine install is easier with one or both side tins removed.

Manythanks for all the advice. How hard is it to install the side tins after the engine is in place?

It's a bit fiddely

Tilting the engine with the tin in is way easier that trying to put the tin on with the engine installed, but it can be done!
