914-6 engine conversion, Looking for a complete list of parts Options

[mepstein]

I'm looking for a complete list of parts to fit a 3.2 into my car. I know there are lots of threads covering the conversion but I'm hoping someone can put together a very complete and detailed list of parts for the conversion. Hard lines, soft lines, engine oil cooler, harness, ect. Opinions, suggestions modifications and suppliers are welcome. I would be starting with a 3.2 motor pulled from a 911 with all the 911 parts included. And if anyone has a good cache of conversion parts that they are not using, please PM me. Thanks, Mark

I have recently completed a 3 year + restoration/conversion to a six on a 1975 chassis. I went with a 3.0 with carbs but the rest is basically the same. Off the top of my head you need :

1. Kennedy Engineering 901 conversion kit. This will include flywheel starter ring gear,pressure plate,throwout bearing and clutch disc to use with a 901 transmission. I went with a Stage II and love it.
2. Rich Johnson makes LOTS of parts for the /6 conversion. His firewall engine mount is fantastic. I also used his throttle linkage,oil cooler conversion and other items. He is top notch compared to others.
3.Oil tank, I was lucky to still purchase a DW Design oil tank. All aluminum with filter mount,filler neck,cap and dipstick. Powder coated black it is a beauty that holds an additional quart of oil over stock. I believe this gentleman moved to Australia and not sure he still makes these.
4.Front mounted oil cooler. My opinion is 3.0 and larger really needs additional cooling. I went with a MB diesel oil cooler and -12 AN fittings. Using a BAT Inc. thermostat. Car runs cool in Florida heat/humidity.
5.Suspension and brakes. You have to stop the beast ! I went with 911 M calipers on all four corners. Converted to 911 E-Brake also. Went with PMB converted 5 lug in the rear with 911 struts up front with conventional 5 lug hubs. This allows 20mm vented rotors on all four. Also went with a 19mm master cylinder.
6. I went with Elephant Racing poly-bronze bushings while I had everything apart.
7. Chassis stiffening. I went with the Engman kit along with the standard GT kit. I also put the kit on my swing arms and also strengthened the suspension ear.

That's an overview of the big hitters there is lots of little stuff that adds up. In my opinion you can't do a six conversion correctly for less than about $20,000.00 . Good luck and this forum is a GREAT resource for help/info.
