I am considering the purchase of a 911 s engine on this site to swap for my 1.7. However, I would like to get an idea of the work involved to make this happen. Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers, John |

Funny how the guide on PP never says much about the engine wiring.
It's much easier to replace the wiring harness before the fan shroud goes on, and the engine goes in the car. You don't have to integrate the alternator wires into the engine harness, but it's cleaner installed that way. It's not required to have your battery cable and alternator B+ wire integrated, but it too is a much cleaner install. Several guys have contacted me and said "I've got my 6 conversion almost done, engine all installed, now I just need a wiring harness. (record scratch) |
