That engine bay looks great. How many hours do you think the swap took you if you could estimate it?
I'm planning on doing the work but having my mechanic "supervise" to optimize efficiency. I've found myself running pretty short on time recently and it's only going to get worse this summer, so it's worth the extra cost to get it done quickly.

I drilled new holes to tighten up the spacing and all is well. Ed can also get one custom cut to whatever spacing you want, this was just the quicker/cheaper option.
That would be sick! Who did you end up chatting with to do that work? I've been reading that the Emtron ecus are next gen compared to Motec m1 series. If my Bosch stuff won't work for me I'll likely go that route. |
Interesting, I will absolutely check out the Demon Speed engine mounts. It's fun to learn new technology but if I can get products off the shelf that work, that's obviously easier.
Daniel Elias from Calibrated Performance. He worked with a guy in the Middle East who has a '94 C2 with a 996 Cup Engine and 997 GT3 Transmission. the_red_baron_993 on Instagram. I reached out to him and he said Daniel was great to work with.
