Installing a 3.2 or 3.0 Engine... Options

[Biggles]

Hi All

looking for some advice from those members who have installed either a 3.2 Carrera or 3.0 SC engine.

Trying to gather information for my conversion but the consensus of opinion is one of the following:

3.2 Carrera
standard engine with 40 IDA3 Webers - will they bolt on and how much adaption work to the manifold is required? Heard the port sizes are vastly different ?
915 magnesium case gearbox with a aftermarket gearbox mount - is Patrick MS the only one who does this?
SC flywheel required to suit 915 box?


3.0 SC engine
standard engine with 40 IDA3 Webers - should bolt straight on with no port adjustments?
915 mag case as above or early 911/01 gearbox with standard 914/6 rear mount. intermediate late required for 911 gearbox ?


I definitely want to go the route of 40 IDA Webers but don't want to track the car, so not looking for top end speed just low to mid-range. What chokes have people put in for this application and how does it drive ?

Sorry, lots of questions !

thanks

Chris

^^ Agree. Huey has a stock 3.2 with factory Motronic. It's awesome. Just reach in, turn the key and instant running, even after sitting for months. It just runs, period. And for a street car, that's what you want, for it to run reliably. You can easily change the power curves and stuff with re-chipping it.

I wouldn't trade our factory FI for any other option.

As for trans, we run a stock 901 in Huey. PMS has a nice adapter kit for clutch/pp/flywheel.
For Papa's 3.2 engine, we installed a 915 with Velios conversion. For the very few chances I've had to run it, it ran perfect. Again, PMS makes adapter kits for clutch/pp/fw, but the big expense will be converting the 915 to side shift.
