why can't a 911 oil tank be mounted on the drivers or passenger side of a 914.Is it thicker due to the wide flares?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) with Perry,
I've only seen them in all-out racers. Dry sump tanks are simple by the very nature of the design... but finding a place for one (besides the stock location), in the small 914 is tough. I've seen several setups that place a round tank in the rear trunk next to the trans (and is a very succesful race car). You could do this with teh 911 tank, but why? For the same or less price of a 911 tank you could get an aluminum tank out of a dirt-track racing supplier that would look way better than an odd shapped 911 tank randomly placed in the car. And yes, the 911 tank is too wide to place it in the fenderwell without fender modification. |
