Hello, I'm new here and am looking for advice. I came across a 67 912 in an old fallen down barn. The car was shrink wrapped but pack rats still got to it. Appears to have a VW engine. Seats are still in the box. Most body work seems done for the most part. However there is still plenty to do. Appears to have a fender kit that makes it look like a 911. I will post some pictures. I would like to know what I've came across here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!

Diamond plate? Now I have seen it all. Certainly not a Porsche power plant. Looks like it should clean up nicely.

And a bad one at that.

Good project! Hopefully you can replace those flared guards!

Cool find. Can you post pics of the motor mount/cross member? I'm faced with putting a type 1 engine in my 912.

You have to get a Type 1 Bus case motor or a universal as they are drilled for rear mount.
If you have your 912 rear mount it will be an easy adaption.

I was afraid of that. I'm missing the original rear mount and have a nice, bigger VW engine I would like to run. Now I'm faced with either making my own mount or building my own motor.

They used to make an adaptor for non Bus mount motor to Bus. It was a plate that used the oil pump studs (I think they needed to be drilled & tapped 10mm & be longer) to mount the plate to the motor. The plate was U shaped to mount to the "Mustache Bar. His mount looks like it mounts to the oil sump bolts and oil pump (he shows part of it in his pic.s). I think a 68-71 Bus Mustache Bar will be your easiest adaption. If interested I will measure the center of mount holes between VW BUS and 912 Porsche Bar as I have both. Then you can try to find one to use.

I appreciate the offer. Looks like I might be drilling and tapping the bosses on my late type 1 case/engine and just bought an original 912 cross member off this site. I hope to adapt it to work with this engine.
