914-6 conversion question, what else do I need? Options

[Mr_Chu]

Ok, so I have a 914 and also a 911SC. I am going to throw in the 3.0-liter motor into my 914.

I have to change the oil tank, I have to do the ring and piston thing, motor mounts, heat exchangers and new oil lines and stuff. What else do I need to do?

I know I have to upgrade suspension and braking, but what else do I need in order to swap motors and tranmission? Do I need to modify anything else? I pretty much have all the pieces to do the conversion, the problem I'm having is actually starting!

Any comments, suggestions, or missing parts I might need to do the full swap?

This conversion is starting to be a nightmare and its also costing me a pretty penny! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, thanks for the guys that gave me some pointers earlier. That really helped me out!

Hey guys I appreciate the help.  

First of all I need to get a motor mount.  Do I need a mount for my transmission as well?  A costly 915 tranny rebuild seems to be in my future.  (The r/p thing is confusing the hell out of me)

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure the 915 bolts up to the stock mounts. Maybe an adapter?

I also need the sheet metal.  Will the 914-6 sheet metal kit be able to fit the 3.0 liter motor from my 911 sc?  Cause afterall, the original 6 is a 2.0-liter motor.  

Stock 914-6 sheet metal will fit.

And if I get a stock 914-6 oil tank.. will it fit right in between the fender and motor?  Or do i have to cut and weld?  

The 914-6 oil tank goes in between the outer fender and the inner fender. Or, to say it another way, in the wheel well. It doesn't go in the engine bay. If you look over near the relay board (drivers side engine bay) you'll see some circular flat spots. Those are the places that need to be cut out for the oil tank to poke through.

Heat exchangers is another thing i'm kind of confused about.  Should i get the 914-6 heat exchangers?  Will that bolt onto my SC motor or do I need to find some other kind of heat exchangers?  

Stock heat exchangers will be bad for horsepower. Get headers.

And one of you said something about a special flywheel?  Can you clarify this for me.

He was mistaken. No special flywheel.

As for the fuel injection thing, as much as I would like to convert my motor to carbs, I think that using the fuel injection system off of the SC engine would be the most easy way for me to do it.  Or is it?  I'm not too sure about this yet.  But turning to Carbs is more money that I don't really have.

Keep the fuel injection. Carbs suck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It'll take a little thinking to get the wiring harness converted over, but once that's done it's plug and play.

Keep up posted.
