912E Replacing trans+motormounts - difficult?
 

Any obstacles I should be preparing for?
Looks like I have to lower the rear of the motor for the motor mounts, and raise the trans to replace the trans mount biscuits?
Do-able on the garage floor?
Thanks in advance.

Trans mounts are easy. You have to take off the fan shroud to change the motor mounts. It can be done on the garage floor. R/Ken B

Thanks Ken. Looks like the shroud is in two parts. Can I get away with just removing the half facing the rear bumper?

Bill I don’t think so, the shroud covers the engine mounting brackets that you need access to, plus it makes it easier to remove the crossbar. You’ll have to support the engine too. I just did mine but I had removed the whole unit and did a lot of while your in there stuff!

Good time to check for oil leaks.(Oil cooler). Check flaps etc.

I removed the old mounts and discovered that the replacements sold here are not compatible. Am I wrong - (see pic) ? Should I de-construct the oem mount and try to use the generic Rennline biscuits made for the 911.

At the other end, do I have to remove the heat exchangers to get to the forward half of the shroud? I spied several bolts holding the H/E skins to the shroud.

Thanks, Bill K

The 911 mounts are thinner than factory 912e mounts, I used a thick washer and spacer to make up the difference. Also I think the heat exchangers are only connected at the front ends, I removed to make a long block config, but did it as a procedure to clean/reseal, not to just replace the mounts.
