I am very close to starting on my 6 conversion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
I have a decent inventory of parts now. Many of the parts are from my '77/'78 911SC hybrid donor car. I've seen that many folks ditch the CIS for carbs, but I would like to keep the CIS if I can. I've heard about CIS interference issues requiring latch relocation and using banjo fuel lines to clear the trunk side of the engine bay. Are there any adjustments to mount locations needed to make the motor fit without cutting the car? What other surprises may I be in for? Some of the parts I am using are RJ bulkhead mount, a WEVO 915, DW oil tank, and MSDS headers. Parts I still need are engine tins, oil lines(hoping to mod the 911 lines), and chassis reinforcement. Parts recommendations welcome. Thanks |

The modified 915 should bolt right up to your 3.0 liter, that's what it mated with originally in the 911, so no problems there. You'll like the 915 gearbox, it shifts nicely as long as you don't try to speed shift too often. Changing to the rear trunk strut kit will gain you a bit of room at the back of the engine compartment, and makes for a nice, clean install (actually a whole lot nicer than the torsion springs). It should be possible to relocate the engine hood latch, but the hood pin idea is not a bad one.
When it's all in, you should have a nice setup. You might also check with George Hussey (Dr914 @ Auto Atlanta) as I believe he has this same setup in one of his cars. |
