Subamount engine & transmission mount kit – Type 1

Mount any Subaru EJ, EG, EZ or FA engine and Subaru transmission to your Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing or buggy. Positions your driveline perfectly with the minimum clearance to the torsion bar and to frame horns. Suitable for IRS and non-IRS pan frame horn shapes.

Use the lower mounting hole to have your twin cam engine at standard driveline height – use standard Subaflanges and 15 5/8″ axles. A Kafer brace can be attached to the upper mount holes to aid in supporting the weight and torque of your driveline.

For beetle builds with quad cam engines only, use the upper mounting hole to have your driveline at alowered height – use extended Subaflanges and custom shortened axles. This will require you to also use a Kafer brace on the lower holes to support the weight and torque of your driveline.

The Subamount bolts onto the Type 1 VW Floor Pan Frame Horns where the factory VW Transmission Mount bolted using the same bolts. Once in place you will be able to use your factory Subaru Engine mounts to bolt the Subaru Engine to the mount. When you fit the front mount the entire assembly of Subaru Transmission and Subaru Engine will simply bolt in.
