I have heard that you can do this by stretching the holes. The flanges on the mount look a little wimpy to do this. Anyone done it with a big motor?

The 911 sits on top of a hole getting supported all the way around. This would only be supported by the bolts and washers. Not sure I'm comfortable with it.

Somewhere I read the 911 engine mounts were designed for an engine resting on them...and not for a transmission hanging off of them. Based on this bit of info I thought using the 911 engine mounts was not the right choice.

Therefore, I bought a set Wevo´s from the club store...which are specifically designed for a hanging 914 transmission.
