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!

Damn wasted money!

money spent on quality parts is never wasted.

even if plans change (as in your case) there will *always* be someone looking for what you've got. e.g. a very nice set of polished 2,0 Fuchs ready-to-go.

truly defective parts need to hit the landfill so they don't become someone else's problem, but a surprising number of parts can be restored -- they aren't making most of this stuff any more.

you'd be amazed what some of the 356 guys will go through to bring back a part any 'normal' person would have gladly junked 40 years ago.

you'll find a buyed who wants those wheels and recoup your investment sooner or later.
