So I have had years of fun working on my 4 cyl however a few weeks ago I saw an ad in the classifieds section for a 1970 911e 2.2l engine w/zenith carbs for sale. I decided to buy it. I never had any plans for converting to a 6 cyl until now.
Here are a few basic 6 cyl conversion questions- 1. What is the best motor mount to use? 2. What size headers should I buy (1.5")? 3. What oil tank should I buy (I don't care about originality, just looking for best combination of function to cost)? 4. Are stock 1970 911e pressure plates usable on 914 side shift transmissions (the pressure plate looks flat- it doesn't look like a 914 pressure plate)? |

It's a fun project!
I'd stick with the factory style oil tank, though there are folks making reproduction ones that should work fine. If the engine has a flat flywheel, you can get an adapter ring to use it with the 914 transmission/clutch package. The center type engine mounts seem to be the best, most popular. Check out the ones made by Patrick Racing and also the one available on our host's site and choose which you like. Both are good, or you can choose the old 'Quick Six'mount if you want a cheaper version that also works. The headers should work fine with that engine ( but obviously you'll lose heat/defrost by using them). Our host has a nice tech article explaining the conversion process. |
