Moz_Goodwood 0 Posted February 14, 2009 hi all, im moving house soon and need the 309 to be towed away seeing as it has no engine at the moment, i do have the 2.0 turbo lump ready to go in but the conversion wont be ready in time i was wandering would just the top and bottom engine mount be ok to hold the engine for transport? as i wont have a gearbox to use that mount or will it put to much strain on the others??? i only ask as it will save me a trip shifting the engine and if im paying for the car to be trailered anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted February 14, 2009 wont work you could leave the rear mount off, but not the transmission one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moz_Goodwood 0 Posted February 14, 2009 bar-steward thought as much ive still got my old 1.9 gti gearbox will that fit just so i can use it for transport? if it does fit my next question will be would it be any good for the conversion, gear ratios, torque handling ability etc cheers paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted February 14, 2009 yup that'll do the trick, don't even need a flywheel in there just bolt the box on, can't say for certain on the actual ratios for use with the turbo, but I should imagine it being more suited than a 1.9 box. plenty of conversion threads to check up on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moz_Goodwood 0 Posted February 14, 2009 thanks for that mate ive read every turbo project going now four or five times over, but im a sod for just looking / remembering the bits i need at the time if you catch my drift i'll have another trawl in a bit cheers paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omega 82 Posted February 14, 2009 if u have a strut brace fitted you could but a rachet strap round the engine on to the strutbrace then this would support it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platty 1 Posted February 14, 2009 Don't forget to bolt in the driveshaft's in or it'll end in tears I pulled a bearing out just by pushing my old 205 in and out of the garage with no driveshafts in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
