Been a long time lurker. I have a 76 and seriously thinking about doing a six conversion. Specifically looking at a 3.2. Will I still be able to retain all the smog related equipment. Or will fitment issues force me remove them.
I want to make sure I can still pass smog inspection. Thank you for all the great threads and inspiration. 914world rocks!!!! |

3.2's did not have OBD so no OBD port to worry about. The emission controls are almost all on the engine, part of the DME system. The major obstacle (as I see it) is the cat converter. We did several of these transplants into earlier 911's and it was close to plug and play. Wiring in the DME system was the hardest part on a 911, DME has a separate wiring harness so there are relatively few (from a conversion point of view) connections to the vehicle wiring. It was also necessary to wire in the original tach because it had an upshift light that was part of the emissions system according to the Cal Air Resource Board (CARB). In a 914 you would have to have a sealed crankcase ventilation system like the engine had in the 911, no little K&N breather filter off the oil tank. The charcoal canister from the 911 would probably have to be mounted and plumbed in. And you have to have an exhaust fabed with an acceptable (to CARB) cat converter in it. I can't picture where you could have a original cat mounted close enough to the heads to meet smog rules so you would have to find 1 or 2 replacement cats that are CARB certified (as in $$$) that a referee station would accept for the engine.
Could be a road full pot holes. Jim |
