The linkage was purchased with a set of 40IDFs back in the '80s by my brother Charley. It came from Red Lion in CA. (don't think they are around anymore)

I switched back to them after getting pissed for the last time at the POS Weltmeister solid mounts.
The front motor mounts are aluminum blocks.
I might have a pair of 911 (914 sport) mounts somewhere.
I'm not comfortable with the thought of solid mounts at both ends. (Maybe I should just get over it.)

Aaron, yes it was red Lion. I think they advertised in VW and Porsche magazine back in those days.

I gotcha. The Weltmeister plastic crap does suck (they compress too esily). We run aluminum blocks.

Man.. that fan shroud looks COOL.

I'm a little concerned that you dont have enough crank case ventilation. Every EP/FP car I have seen has a huge radiator style hose going into the top of the block and into a breather box mounted in the trunk.

There's a 3/4"id hose from both valve covers and a -10an line from the top of the case. They all go into a custom aluminum box filled with fuel cell foam in the trunk that has a breather element on top. There's never any oil residue in the trunk. Also the dry sump pump helps pull pressure out of the case. The an line from the top of the case is also an automatic drain back feature.
My plan is to run a 3 stage external pump to pull on the valve covers and scavenge the case, and switch back to a single stage pump in the stock location.

IT RUNS!
I timed it to 33 deg total advance. I don't know much about the Mallory distributor yet so I'll probably have to fiddle with it a bit more.

Great NEWS Chris (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I only noticed one -10 line at the oil filler area...thanks for clearing that up for me. You nailed the hot ticket.. use the scavenge from the dry sump setup to pull a vacuum on the engine.

Looks sweet Chris! Almost makes me miss the Type4 (almost...nah) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


So where does one get truly solid trans mounts i.e. the alloy blocks? I was appalled when I ordered "solid" mounts and received these Welt things which are chunks of urethane or something.
