Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

MecGen, I've photgraphed through the entire conversion and will post it all to my 914world.com blog as I get the chance. Thank you for the compliments. Agreed, the V6 conversion isn't much welcomed here amongst the type four groupies (0r so it seems), but then I consider them to be gluttons for punishment (I paid my type four dues and it sucked!). My V6 conversion, in spite of its problems, has been ran hard and then has set in the garage for the winter without a single drop of oil leaking from it. It starts on the first or second revolution (as it did when I first fired it up) in low teen temperatures and idles like a dream. Need a bit of a thrill, step on the gas and you'll get plenty! Can't wait for the 4.1! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) I can only imagine what the small block Chevy conversion guys experience, but it's gotta be incredible!
