I am currently rebuilding a 914/6 conversion that I bought which had headers which are rotted out. The car uses a standard 72 914 shift rod. If I put original 6 heat exchangers back on the car will I have clearance problems with the shift rod? and if so what is the solution?

I've been making and selling a conversion shift rod for over seven years now (ask Rich J where he got the one on his car). I made a jig and started selling them after the on I got from Otto's didn't work too well. It did work, just not very well.
A stock four cylinder shift rod will not work with a six cylinder conversion, regardless of exhaust, it's convoluted to fit through the hole in the four cylinder crossbar. If you've got a side shifter and a fairly straight shift rod, then you are probably OK. The conversion shift rod should have some slight bends in it, as isn't a perfectly straight shot from the firewall bush to the gear selector console on the side of the gearbox. PM me if you want more info. PK |
