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?

If you don't want to use a stock location 914-6 tank, I'd go for the round dry sump tank in the battery location (obviously with the battery relocated). Trying to fit a 911 tank is a hack job that will never look right.
No matter how you slice it, the two oil connections on the engine are on opposite sides of the engine, so the oil lines have to run pretty much the same distance either way. |
