Looking for a link on this site or another site you may know of for a type IV conversion in a 912. Long story but the 912 we have has a bullet through the valve cover. The head stopped it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

No I don't want a Subaru.

How big of a drunken red neck would you have to be to lay on the ground and shoot a hole through the valve cover into the head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Looks weld-able though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I put 2.0l in my 68 912 about 20 years ago. that car is still running around town and has been absolutely bulletproof. the motor mount and engine tin is just some plain fabrication. use a 914 flywheel/911 clutch and it bolts right up. there are some gearing changes that will make it work better, but I never did them and it drove just fine.

C'mon Rick. . . Everyone know that a type-4 can't look correct or at home in a Porsche 912 or a 356. . . It's a futile attempt at best. . . Everyone with brains knows that the only solution is to spend 2-3X as much to get a lesser 616 motor. . . It CAN'T BE DONE. . .

Here's one I did a couple years ago for a local guy with a '68 912. I recycled the fan shroud, oil filler and a few other goodies (un-molested) which gave it a "factory skunk-works" feel with factory reliability This car will smoke a 911 of the same era and his 401K is still in tact. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Like I said, it can't be done. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Not really any help to the OP but here is one in a later 356. Looks right at home.

I have templates for the 912E motor mount bar and chassis mounts as well as the fiberglass outer tins to work with the DTM system. Technically I don't make them anymore, but I will for you.

I've also done a stock cooling 914 engine in a 912 wheni was younger. Worked fine

I knew you guys would come through. Thanks for the photos. Rich Towle suggested a type I fan setup as an upright option. For now were just going to do a top end rebuild on a 2.0 I had sitting under the bench and leave it stock cam and cooling with a set of 40 webers. With the way these early 912's are rising we may want to put the stock engine back in some day. The less we take off the engine the more likely we will protect the value down the road.

Mark, I tried to call you but your VM stated you were out til August. Call me when you get a chance. I'm interested in the mount and patterns.

That looks very stock with the oil canister and throttle linkage. Very nice.

With the price of 912's going up Hold on to the original motor, it may be worth more to the new owner if you ever sell.
I snapped a crank on a 66 I had, built a Type 2 monster for much less than rebuilding the original. It was 20 years ago, but I got $1500 as it sat. Hindsight wish I had held onto it.

Hey, let me know what those components would cost too, Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I've been debating sticking a refreshed '69 2L '6' into my '67, or a 2L T4 that's just sitting here. I hate buying 9 qts of oil for the '6' every 3k miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)



Sharp looking conversion, Nate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
