CIS 3.0L install tips and tricks wanted Options

[Nana's_914]

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 problems i ran into with my 3.0 install was the cis was to tall
so i dropped the engine mount by about one inch including the tranny.(on Eric Shea's recomendations)
deleting the breather hole on the back of the rubber boot attop the intake
and against the wishes of the purists and the paranoid i cut a hole in the fire wall for timing and belt replacement
and you will need to cut the engine lid latch off. relocate it if you choose to keep it
with dropping the engine the shift rod will need to be modified, and the rj engine mount will need to be ground a bit for clearance( on the engine side)
skip the idea of trying to turn the intake around...if you want to go to that length
you should just do carbs.
there are plenty of cis converted cars with the cis in its stock location
