Last one,
Other side of the front pc.This front pc is the one that required a lot of thinking to get it to work.

Ron, Thanks for the sheet metal pics. I need to tackle this project on mine and the shots will be very helpful. I know there was some concern on the overall width of the installed sheetmetal, but I don't see where you added any material that would increase the overall width of the installed pieces. Looking at mine, if the front and back pieces are unchanged in width, then I would think the sides would be correct also?
Great project and thanks again for the info. It's great to get feedback from someone who's actually BTDT.
He didnt add any width because he is using the stock 993 rear tin piece. I *think* if he had tried to use a 9146 piece he would see the issue.
Ron,
we need to chat about this right here: 99% of the engine builders tell us not to block this off completely. The fan and its CFM where factored into the equation with a vent there.. They tell us to at least drill vent holes there and let it breath. They have seen weird cooling issues on the dyno with this blocked off (like fan cavitation) Just a thought.
B
It appears (after closer scrutiny) He is only using 1-2 pieces from the 993 tin on the back of the engine. You can see where he had to slot the rear piece right near the oil cooler because a screw hole didnt line up.
That is a crazy clutch setup Ron. Did this engine come out of sombody's race car ?? It has the tiny Tilton 5.5 style flywheel on it. I know of a comany who is working on a regualar organic compound discs so we can run that setup on the street.
B
Yeah, what clutch setup and tranny are you gona run with that thing?
Eric
This is what we run on the race cars with 915 tranny's.
B
droooolll
Ron, you are a 914 Badaaaassss!
Brad, you are a Porsche Savant! Rainman, and such.
"Brad always let's me drive.... yeah.."..

Ron,
So what trans are you going to run?
The trans I have is a 915 box already setup w/a Vellios side shifter.
It's got a 7:31 R&P.All I lack in installing it is a T-B differential.That will happen sometime this year.
Ron
Ron S., Brad or anyone that knows. Will the stock flywheel off that engine work with the 901 box? If no what mods need to be done to make it work? The reason I'm asking is the bolt circle looks like my 928 flywheel. I'm thinking I could use one of those stock off the shelf pieces on the 928 conversion instead of my custom job.
Rich,
The engine had whats known as a dual mass flywheel which I still have.It would not fit into the bellhsg.of the 915 box.Starter ring& timer ring had to big of dia.
The timer ring was turned down .080 to fit the turned down flywheel,starter ring is early 911.
Plus,the dual mass flywheel alone,less pressplate&disc weighs in at 30lbs.
That 5-1/2"flywheel weighs 9lbs.and made from stainless steel.It has no mfg.marks on it so I don't know who made it.
Ron
I'm gonna start a new thread on 3.6 to 915/901 flywheel questions. I know I have a few and it looks like it justifies a separate thread.
Ron,
VERY SWEET.
A few years back, I was wondering of a 3.6 swap..
I'm glad someone had the courage to do it.
Good luck!
