A friend of mine owns a '75 911 Targa. When he got some engine problems last week he decided to give his money to the right guy - a well known Austrian specialist for Porsche technique (engine, tranny, brakes, ...). Only problem - this guy has his shop about 300 miles away (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
So he asked me if I would accompany him with a second car - sure I did (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

He gave me his daily driver (the BMW) and took the Porsche. We started early morning and had to use nice little (and twisty) roads ...

it's a real six from 1971 and owned by a friend of mine
he decided to put a stronger engine in it - a carbed 2.7 with about 210 HP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

looked like a standard '75

the owner of this car has a physical handicap and he isn't allowed to drive cars with manual transmission - so he ordered a sportomatic conversion

Toni took a sportomatic tranny from a 911 and built some adaptors and with some modifications he managed this conversion - so this is a '75 914 2.0 Sportomatic (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

Toni is well known at some Porsche racers, so he has always a couple of Porsche race cars at his shop

this was a 17 hrs trip accross Austria, but it was absolutely cool
Toni is a real nice guy and a real Porsche specialist
unfortunately the's about 6 hrs away - otherwise I'd visit him more often

so this is a '75 914 2.0 Sportomatic

some of us would be very interested to see how he handled the oil pump for the torque convertor on a /4

Toni tried to explain it to me - but I'm not that kind of mechanic to keep the details in my brain (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
but I remember that this oil pump was a major problem
he also told me about a second pump he needed for the right underpressure for the clutch trigger (or so)
another problem was the adaptor from the engine to the tranny, which was designed for a -6 engine

underpressure for the clutch trigger


the clutch is operated by vacuum (underpressure?) so they would need to tap into the manifold and install the solenoid and reservoir somewhere

great pics btw (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) how'd they get the 911 tub upstairs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
