In making a conversion to a 3.2 I am tempted by the availability of a nice matching oil tank, and not exactly thrilled by the price of a more authentic tank. If I have welding skills, is there a way of converting the 911 tank to fit? I would prefer it not in the trunk, but not committed to the left side, although that seems most obvious. Someone must have thought about this before - stupid idea?

I considered welding, but really didn't like the idea of steel slag or welding rod in the oil system
saving a couple of hundred bucks, but putting a 5K engine on the line is bad economics. I've made one out of aluminum though.. (that fits inside the stock location) less risk than mig and steel right or left fender are really the best locations amongst the many compromises. Front trunk is my 3rd place in the list and rear trunk is a no-no as far as weight distribution goes. |
