Engine swap, '77 911s engine swap Options

[Morph914]

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

Motor mount
Oil tank
Oil lines
Gas lines
Different clutch, etc
Headers/Heater boxes
Engine tin
911 Muffler

Probably a front oil cooler w/oil lines
thermostat, etc.

More..........

Not for the faint of heart, but a fulfilling project once you have it sussed out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)
The sounds that a 911 engine makes and the power you will stab at will make you feel like your dick grew two sizes.

I will add, breaks, 5 lug, wheels....then you may want better tires, oh flares?

A 2.7 can get away without an upfront cooler, depending on configuration. I have a 74 2.7 with CIS and SC cams that was a blast. I wrecked it and am slowly getting the replacement body done and together. Read up on the 2.7, various years had certain problems. I got mine for free from a friend so I tore it down to the crank and rebuilt it with enhancements that I deemed necessary. Consequently, there is a lot of info out there that is just opinion and expensive suggestions that are not necessarily gospel. Case in point, on Pelican is a very long thread that I was part of where we proved that not only can alusil cylinders be reconditioned, but that there is a process that is know for doing such and is cheap. Everyone would steer you towards a $3000 new set of nickasil...I reconditioned my alusil for $194. Lots of reading, verify everything, ask for proof. Unless you are rich, plan for a long process that will cost you plenty.
