I moved the 914 back around under the canopy but faced it nose in so I can start working on a transmission mount. The clothesline wire is there to keep things from tipping forward and the transmission hitting the underside of the chassis.
 My motor & transmission came with the Subaru mounts so I am trying to utilize them. I believe this is what Coldwater914 is doing more recently. I leveled the engine & transmission by measuring various points of the lower oil pan flange. I'm holding things level with the scissor jack from the crashed Miata, but also took this pic for reference.  |

In my "spare time" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I've been trying to complete the tack trunk for our daughter. Getting closer.
  Still waiting on the vinyl panels with the barn logo for the sides to arrive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Car looks really great Mike... Once again, excellent detail work. Big steps (drivetrain) being taken now... You'll be flying down Riggs Rd in no time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I managed to get the transmission mount knocked out this afternoon. The angles tripped me up at first, but after resorting to the good ole CAD method, I got them figured out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
   I need to pick up some more satin black spray paint before I can paint it. I just can't wait to pull it out again to paint it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Need to do something about how long the transmission mount studs are...just waiting for trouble hanging down that low.

I was going to put a shallow nut on each trans stud then cut the remainder off on mine. Has anyone had any luck pulling those studs and running bolts up from the bottom?
