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

With some minor resurfacing, you can use the 3.0 flywheel with the 901, you will need a new starter ring , clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing(I got my parts from Kennedy). The 901 is easily up to the task with a 180hp 3.0.

I had to shave the ribs on the rubber intake boot with mine and notch the back edge of the engine lid around the fuel distributor. I relocated the latch but later pinned it.
I have the stock 6 mount, if i was mounting a new mount i would place it 3/4 to an inch lower to accomidate the engine height, and space down the tranny a little too.
