I have an original 2.0 liter six. I bought a 3.0 liter with webers and am going to do the swap. I have researched this forum and what to confirm/clarify if I am getting things right.
From what I understand I need to do the following:
1) Get a flywheel/clutch setup from Kennedy. Can I use the 3.0 liter flywheel with an adapter? It is a 9 bolt flywheel. Is there a reason to use the flywheel from Kennedy, over the adapter ring gear? I have read that the Kennedy flywheel is welded up and re-drilled, not sure if I want to go that way.
2) Modify the 3.0 liter oil cooler with a 90 degree to clear the trailing arm. Is the 3.0 liter cooler different than my cooler from the stock 2.0? Do I need the engine cooler even if I want to add a front mounted cooler? Will I need a front mounted cooler?
3) Do I need to modify the throttle linkage on the 3.0 liter? It came out of a 911. I would think I need some of my linkage parts from the original six, but not sure.
I plan to upgrade the fuel lines in the tunnel with the stainless setup from one of the guys on the board.
Is there anything else I should do while I have things apart?
Thanks for you help.

> I would order what ever set-up Kennedy recommends keeping in mind that you'll want to use your stock clutch linkage. I've found the Stage I clutch & a stock disc to be sufficient for the kind of power you'll be making. I've never heard of a Kennedy-welded flywheel being a problem.

> Use your stock 914/6 oil cooler and oil lines.....feed & scavenge.

Make sure the cams are appropriate for carbs. There's a LOT of people out there who don't do that .................. The Cap'n
I use the stock flywheel with the ring gear adapter and Centerforce clutch. Either way. Both work.
I would modify the 3.0 oil cooler because the ID of the supply pipe is larger on the later coolers. The 3.0 oil pump has a substantially larger capacity than the 2.0 pump.
Thank you.
Thanks Guys,
I think I will get the cooler converted, that way the swap will go a little quicker. don't need to take apart the 2.0 to get the cooler.
Still a little uncertain about the clutch/flywheel setup. I guess there is not real advantage to either way.
I am not sure about the cams. I think they are stock. Will that be a problem with the carbs. I am not expecting to get max power out of the package. From what I understand I would need new pistons if I went with a bigger cam, would be nice.
I already have big tires.
I believe the fitting on the scavenge line is too small. I believe an adapter is available from various places (elephant?)
What is the typical cost of doing pistons/cams?I'm guessing 10:1 for the street ?What lift/duration are the hot rod cams?My supposedly rebuilt 3.2 just failed its leakdown so i'm going to take a lok into thr engine sometime soon
Just got my clutch kit.
KEP stage II pressure plate
ring gear adapter
clutch disc
throw out bearing
Need to do the oil cooler mods.
Anything else??
Oh, i probably should get a new pilot bearing.
Should I re- surface the flywheel even if there is no scoring?

why not just take the 914-6 oil cooler of the old engine and put it on the new?
