Full Version: From electric to a Subaru 3.6 swap
Ok, I've had about a dozen other projects keep me off of the 914 but I have made a little progress.
The prototype for the cradle is done. The advantage over the old renegade, coldwater914 and small car hybrid mounts is that it has slotted engine mounting plates so you can move the engine forward or rearward depending on which engine or trans you are using. Special thanks to @Nacho for helping me by doing all the hard work
I'm working on finishing the trans mount currently. Once I do I'll measure for shifter cables.
I also have a prototype shifter mount being made to make the MR-2 unit a bolt-on.
I have a loose design for -16/-20 coolant lines running through the tunnel rather than under the car and have removed all the internal brackets from tunnel to do so. I'm going to run the Celica GT-S radiator and condenser upfront at about a 20 degree angle with the exit similar to the -6 oil cooler setup.
That's about it right now.

Thanks for the update, now get back to work on the build.
