My donor engine for my 6 conversion came from a '79 3.0 liter, and had this return line on it.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1297619879.1.jpg) As far as I can tell, this originally came on a 73-74 911, but was on my engine since it had SSI heat exchangers. My question is: can I use this on my 6 conversion with a stock 914-6 oil tank or will I need a different hard line? I'm running Marty's MSDS headers on my engine - no heat exchangers. If I need a different one, which one is the proper line? Any suggestions on where to buy the complete line setup (I have none other than the hard line) including a thermostat? I heard that Mocal makes one with -12 fittings, which is what my oil tank has welded on it. Thanks in advance. Rob |

There are several ways to go with that Rob. You could put an adapter on that oil pipe.
Another option is to put a metric to AN adapter right on the case (where the oil pipe connects) and go with flex lines from that point. It's easier an less exposure to heat if you put a 90* fitting on the hose end that's going to connect to that fitting on the case, and then route the hose rearward, wrap it around the passenger side of the engine and then back to the tank, or to a t-stat if you are running an aux oil cooler. |
